Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 20, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Marcos, your trusted food destination. At Marcos, we are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website, marcos-food.click. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy applies to all users who visit our website from any location, including those protected under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), as well as applicable Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on consumer transparency and digital advertising.

Please read this Cookie Policy carefully. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact us at any time using the details provided at the end of this document.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — including your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. These files are stored in your web browser and allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferred language, login status, and items in your shopping cart.

Cookies serve many purposes. They help websites function correctly, allow website owners to understand how visitors interact with their content, enable personalized experiences, and support targeted advertising campaigns. Without cookies, many of the features and services you expect from modern websites simply would not work.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They are simple data files that contain small amounts of text. There are two main categories of cookies based on who sets them:

• First-party cookies: Set directly by the website you are visiting (in this case, marcos-food.click).
• Third-party cookies: Set by third-party services or partners whose content or functionality is embedded on our website, such as Google Analytics or advertising platforms.

Additionally, cookies are classified by duration:

• Session cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.

3. Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and email open rates.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that stores data locally on your device, functioning similarly to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
• JavaScript tags: Code snippets that collect behavioral data about how users interact with our website.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that identifies devices based on their configuration and settings without storing a file on your device.

For the purposes of this policy, all references to "cookies" include these similar tracking technologies unless otherwise specified.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on marcos-food.click. Each category serves a distinct purpose, and we describe each one in detail below.

4.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain parts of our site will not work as intended. These cookies do not collect any information that could be used to identify you personally, and they cannot be disabled without significantly affecting your experience on our site.

Essential cookies are used for purposes such as:

• Maintaining your session as you navigate between pages
• Remembering items you have placed in your order or cart
• Ensuring the security of your browsing session
• Storing your cookie consent preferences
• Enabling access to secure areas of the website

4.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our website. Information collected by these cookies may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Functional cookies help us with:

• Remembering your language preferences
• Saving your location to provide relevant menu options or delivery areas
• Storing your login status so you do not need to sign in each time you visit
• Personalizing content based on your previous interactions with our site

4.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This information helps us improve the performance and content of our website, understand which pages are most popular, and identify any errors or issues users might encounter.

We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics service. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data such as how long you spend on a page, which pages you visit, and how you arrived at our website. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

For more information on how Google uses data from its analytics cookies, please visit: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.

We use Google Ads and may use other advertising platforms to promote our food services and menu offerings. These platforms use cookies to track conversions — meaning they help us understand whether a user who clicked on one of our ads subsequently made an order or visited a specific page on our website.

Under the CCPA/CPRA, the sharing of personal data with advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. California residents have the right to opt out of this activity. Please see Section 8 for more information on how to exercise your rights.

6.3 Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. While we respect your privacy choices, our website does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals. We encourage you to use the specific opt-out tools listed above if you wish to limit tracking.
