At Gumboot Friday, we care about your safety. Sometimes you might be reading or looking at things that you’d rather keep private. If someone is peeking over your shoulder or you suddenly feel unsafe, our Quick Hide button lets you hide the Gumboot Friday counselling page in a flash.
When you click the Quick Hide button, our Gumboot Friday page is immediately replaced with a safe, normal page - www.stuff.co.nz. This means anyone watching won’t see what you were doing. But remember, this button only hides the current page on your screen—it does not erase previous pages from your browser history.

Your safety matters to us, and we hope this feature helps you feel more safe when browsing.
