Privacy, cookies and affiliates
Last updated: October 2026
PuntaCanaWOW is an independent travel guide to Punta Cana. Here we explain, in plain language, what data is processed when you visit, who sets cookies and how we make money.
What data we collect
We have no user accounts, forms or bookings: we don't ask for your name, email or payment details. Bookings are always made on the provider's site that the buttons take you to.
Like any website, our hosting service logs technical data from each visit (IP address, browser, date and page requested) to operate and for security.
Google advertising
This page may show Google AdSense ads, always labeled with the word “Advertisement.”
- Google and other third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites.
- Advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to show you ads based on your browsing on this and other sites on the internet.
- You can turn off personalized advertising in Google's Ad Settings and see how Google uses data on its page for partner sites.
- If you visit us from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Google may show you a consent message to accept or reject these cookies.
Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to learn, in aggregate, how many people visit and which sections get the most views. Analytics uses first-party cookies and doesn't give us your identity.
Affiliate links
Some buttons, such as “Check prices and availability” or “See excursions,” may be affiliate links to booking sites. We say so next to the button.
To manage them we use a tool from Travelpayouts, which loads a script from its servers and may automatically convert links to booking sites into affiliate links.
If you book through one of those links, we may receive a commission from the provider. It doesn't cost you anything extra. The destination site may store a cookie to attribute the booking, and it's governed by its own privacy policy.
Restaurants and map links are neither affiliate nor paid links.
Third-party content
To display the page, your browser downloads videos from Pexels, photos from Wikimedia Commons and Unsplash, video thumbnails from YouTube and fonts from Google Fonts directly from their servers, which receive your IP address as with any download. Hotel and restaurant videos only load when you press play, and they load from YouTube in its privacy-enhanced mode. Image authors and licenses are listed on the credits page. Links to Google Maps and booking sites open in a new tab.
How to control cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The page still works without them; only the ads you see change.
