Understanding the Information We Collect
When you visit www.huiavineyards.com, we automatically collect some information to help us better understand how people are using our website and how we can improve it. This includes technical details such as the type of browser you're using, your IP address, time zone, and any cookies that may be installed on your device.
As you move through the site, we also gather insights into which pages you visit, what products you view, how you found us (through a search engine, another website, or a link), and how you interact with the site overall. We call this “Device Information.”
In some cases, and always in line with privacy laws, we may also use tools like Google Analytics or social media insights to understand general demographic trends—such as age, gender, or areas of interest—when that information is available. These insights help us tailor our digital experiences to better reflect what our visitors care about most.

How We Gather Information to Improve Your Experience
To help us understand how visitors engage with our website and to improve your experience, Huia Estate Vineyard Limited uses a few standard tracking technologies. These tools allow us to tailor our offerings to better reflect your interests and needs.
Here’s what we use and why:
Cookies
Cookies are small data files placed on your device or computer, often including a unique anonymous identifier. They help our website remember things like your preferences or what’s in your cart. You can learn more about cookies and how to disable them at www.allaboutcookies.org.
Log files
These track actions taken on our website. They collect data such as your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, and the date and time of your visit. This helps Huia Estate Vineyard Limited better understand how people navigate our site.
Web beacons, tags, and pixels
These small electronic files allow us to gather information about how you interact with different parts of the website—for example, what pages are most visited or how effective our emails are.
In addition to these tools, Huia Estate Vineyard Limited uses a secure eCommerce and customer management platform called Commerce7. This platform collects personal information when you make (or attempt to make) a purchase through our site. The information gathered includes your name, billing and shipping addresses, payment details (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this as Order Information.
