How we make money
playascerca.com is and will remain free. To keep it going we are funded in two ways, at no cost to you.
Ads (Google AdSense)
When we show ads, they come from Google AdSense. Google chooses the ads, which may be based on what you have searched for or visited before, depending on your consent and your settings. We receive a small share when someone sees or clicks an ad.
If you would like to see fewer personalised ads, you can change this in Google’s ad settings.
Affiliate links
Some links on the site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we receive a small commission, but you pay the same as if you had gone to the website directly.
We use affiliate links from:
- Booking.com (via Impact): hotels, apartments and cabins near the beaches
- Amazon Associates: beach gear such as swimwear, parasols and sun cream. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
Affiliate links always carry rel="sponsored" in the code, and we label them clearly on the page, usually with the text “Advertising: if you book through the links below, we earn a small commission”.
Why do we tell you this?
Spanish law (Law 34/2002 on information society services) requires commercial communications to be clearly identified. We do it because it is the right thing to do and because we want you to be able to trust our recommendations.
We only recommend what we find useful. The water temperatures and the other data on the site are exactly the same, whoever our partners are.
Privacy
When you click an affiliate link, you pass through a short redirect (/go/<partner>) that records the click without storing personal data. The partner’s website (Booking.com, Amazon, etc.) uses its own cookies. You will find more information in each partner’s privacy policy.
If you want to avoid all tracking, block third-party cookies or use a privacy-focused browser.
