Affiliate Tracking

When you click certain links to third-party travel providers, such as GetYourGuide, Viator, Tiqets or Headout, the provider or affiliate network may use cookies or similar technologies to identify that a visitor arrived through our website.

This may allow the affiliate provider or network to attribute a booking or other qualifying action to our website.

If a qualifying action occurs, Micho Travel may receive a commission.

Affiliate tracking does not normally increase the price paid by the customer.

The use of affiliate tracking technologies may depend on the provider’s own technology, privacy practices and applicable consent requirements.
