Affiliate links and travel partners
Tourism Cancun may include affiliate links to third-party travel platforms, tour providers, booking websites and other partners. This means we may earn a commission if you click a link and make a purchase or booking, at no extra cost to you.
Affiliate links may use tracking parameters, cookies or similar technologies to identify that a visitor came from Tourism Cancun. These tools are generally handled by the third-party affiliate network or booking platform, not by Tourism Cancun directly.
Once you click an affiliate link or leave Tourism Cancun, your activity is governed by the privacy policy and terms of the third-party website you visit. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, booking terms, cancellation policies or content of third-party websites.

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites function, remember preferences, measure traffic or support affiliate tracking. Tourism Cancun may use cookies or similar technologies for:
- Basic site functionality
- Analytics and performance measurement
- Remembering preferences
- Affiliate tracking
- Security and spam prevention
You can disable or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not function as intended if cookies are disabled.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand traffic patterns, page performance and visitor behavior in aggregate. Analytics information is generally used to evaluate which content is useful, improve site structure and identify technical issues.
Analytics tools may collect information such as device type, browser type, general location, pages viewed, time on site and referring pages. We do not use analytics tools to personally identify individual visitors.
Newsletter and email communications
If you sign up for a newsletter or email update, we may store your email address with our email service provider and use it to send you travel guides, updates or related content.
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us. We may still retain limited information if needed for recordkeeping, compliance or to honor your unsubscribe request.

Embedded content and external websites
Pages on Tourism Cancun may include embedded content, links or features from third-party websites. Embedded content from another website may behave as if you visited that website directly, and the third party may collect information, use cookies or track interactions according to its own privacy policy.
Tourism Cancun also links to external websites for travel planning, official information, bookings and references. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites.

Newsletter information is generally kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Contact messages may be retained for administrative, legal or business recordkeeping purposes.
