Privacy Policy

Read this site as a plain directory of free Oslo experiences, from the seven pay-what-you-want walks covering Sentrum and Karl Johan to free-entry museums and the parks around Akershus Fortress. Nothing is asked of you in return. There is no account to open, no newsletter wall, no login and nowhere to leave a comment. You scan a walk description or a museum entry, then either keep browsing or head to GuruWalk or freetour.com to reserve a place. Reading is the entire exchange.

What Gets Counted Here

The analytics stay at the aggregate level. The site records which pages are opened, an approximate country, a broad device type, and which outbound links to the walks are clicked. Those outbound clicks carry the most weight: if the page for the free walking tours keeps sending readers to GuruWalk, the totals reflect it. No person is tracked individually, because no name, email address or payment detail is ever typed into this site. There is no personal record on file to protect in the first place.

Cookies, Maps And Embeds

Cookies are few in number, and most come from outside services rather than from this site itself. The analytics tool places a handful of its own. Anything embedded, say a map marking where the Sentrum walks gather near Karl Johan, loads from another company's servers, and any cookie it drops sits under that company's own policy. Images behave the same way. Nothing on these pages follows a reader around the wider web or assembles a profile from other sites.

Every walk here points outward: five of the seven go to GuruWalk and two to freetour.com, where bookings actually happen. Click a link and that platform may set its own cookie, which is how a reservation gets linked back to this site. That link is the site's sole income, and it adds nothing to what you pay, since every walk runs on tips you choose yourself. Once you leave, the platform's privacy terms apply. The full referral arrangement is explained on the disclosure page.

What Stays Off Limits

• Visitor information is never sold, rented, swapped or handed over to anyone outside this site.
• You will find no ad networks here, no tracking pixels, and no scripts that follow you between pages.
• There is no newsletter and no sign-up box, so an email address is never requested or kept.
• Nothing is purchased here. Every one of the 45 walks is booked with the guide on GuruWalk or freetour.com, and the platforms handle confirmations, so this site never sees a booking, a payment or an email address.
• No form appears on any page. The contact page just opens your own email program with the address filled in, so the message leaves your device directly and nothing sits on a server here.

Hosting

These pages sit on a third-party host, as most websites do, and that host keeps ordinary server logs, IP addresses included, to block attacks and abuse. That is where it stops. Nobody sifts through those logs to work out who a reader is, and no attempt is made to tie an address to a particular page, whether someone is reading about the Akershus Fortress walks or comparing the two LOCAL Walking Tours listings. The logs serve one purpose: keeping the site online and stable.

Your Choices

Readers hold the controls throughout. Blocking the analytics script with an ad blocker, tracking protection or a private window leaves every page working exactly as before. Turn JavaScript off as well and the articles on Oslo's free museums, parks and viewpoints still read normally. Anyone who wants no trace whatsoever can skip this site entirely: the five GuruWalk walks and the two freetour.com walks listed here are published on those platforms too, run by the same guides, from NORDIC FREEDOM TOURS to Oslo Free City Walking Tour.

Questions about how your information is treated, or about any of the seven walks listed here? The contact page is the right place to ask. For the commercial side, the disclosure details explain how this site earns when someone books a GuruWalk or freetour.com walk, and why no guide or operator can pay for a spot on this roster.
