NZ Gym Guide (nzgymguide.co.nz) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.

Cookies
We use the following cookies:
- Google Analytics — analytics cookies (_ga, _gid) to measure site traffic. You can opt out via Google's opt-out tool.
- Affiliate tracking — if you click an affiliate link (ClassPass, Orangetheory, Les Mills, Myprotein), the destination site may set tracking cookies. We do not control these.
Affiliate Disclosure
