    1. Introduction

    The htg.com.au website (referred to as the “Hunter Travel Group site”) is managed by Hunter Travel Group Pty Ltd (also referred to as “we", “us”, “our”, “Hunter Travel Group”, “Helloworld Travel HTG”), a company established in Australia. This page, along with our Privacy Policy, outlines our use of cookies on the Hunter Travel Group Travel Site. By using the Hunter Travel Group Site, you are indicating your acceptance of this Cookies Policy and our Privacy Policy, and you agree to comply with them. If you do not agree with these policies, please refrain from using the Hunter Travel Group Site. We may occasionally update this policy, and we recommend checking this page periodically to ensure you are satisfied with any changes.

    2. What Are Cookies?

    A cookie is a text file that is saved on a user’s computer for the purpose of keeping records. We might connect the information we keep in cookies to any personal information you provide while on our website. Cookies store data about individual website visitors, including the visitor’s name, password, username, display preferences, the website pages the visitor has viewed, and the advertisements the visitor has seen or clicked on.

    3. What Do We Use Cookies For?

    At the Hunter Travel Group, we utilise cookies to recognise a visitor’s browser, anonymously track visits, or enhance the user experience on the website.

    We employ both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser, while a persistent cookie stays on your hard drive for an extended duration. When a visitor returns to the website, we may identify the visitor by the cookie and tailor the visitor’s experience accordingly. Persistent cookies can be removed by following the instructions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file.

    If you choose to reject cookies, you can still access our website, but your ability to use certain areas of our website, such as contests or surveys, may be restricted.

    Web Beacons / Gifs
    We use a software technology known as clear gifs (also known as Web Beacons), which help us manage content on our website more effectively by informing us which content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, functioning similarly to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. Unlike cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not link the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers’ personal information.

    3rd Party Tracking
    The use of cookies by our partners, affiliates, tracking utility company, or service providers is not covered by this Policy. We do not have access to or control over these cookies. Our third-party partners use clear gifs (also known as Web Beacons/Web Bugs), images, and scripts to better manage content on our website. We do not link the information gathered to our customers’ or users’ personal information.

    Behavioural Targeting / Re-Targeting
    We collaborate with third-party ad networks to either display advertising on our websites or manage our advertising on other websites. Our ad network partners use cookies, Web beacons, and other technologies to collect non-personally identifiable information about your activities on this and other websites to provide you with targeted advertising based on your interests.

    If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads, you may opt-out by clicking http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices and http://preferences-mgr.truste.com. Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads or targeted ads where third parties do not honour opt-out capabilities.

    4. Third Party Cookies And Analytics

    4.1 When you browse certain parts of our website, third parties may set cookies on your computer’s browser and/or use web beacons to gather information. This information could include your usage of the website or mobile app, device and browser details, and ad data. The data generated by the cookies and web beacons regarding your use of the website is sent to these third parties. This data is then used to compile statistical reports that allow us to measure and analyse site visits and page views, as well as the average time spent on the site; to serve you targeted ads (including using it to target ads on other sites or apps based on your online activity); to provide us with services; and to enhance and improve our website, mobile app, and the third party’s tech products and services.
