Welcome to Marcos, your trusted food destination. When you visit our website at marcos-eat.click, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, and deliver relevant content and advertisements. This Cookie Policy is designed to give you clear, transparent information about what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we collect and process your personal data. By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. These files are stored in your browser's designated folder and allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences or login status.

Cookies are widely used across the internet and serve many useful purposes. They help websites function correctly, remember your settings, improve your user experience, and provide website owners with valuable analytical data about how their site is being used.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit marcos-eat.click for the first time, our server sends a small text file (the cookie) to your browser. Your browser stores this file locally on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends this cookie back to our server, which can then read the stored information and use it to recognize you or recall your preferences.

Cookies can store a variety of information, including:

• A unique identifier assigned to your device or browser session
• Your language or location preferences
• Items added to a shopping cart or food order
• Login authentication tokens
• Data used to track website usage and behavior

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Marcos when you visit marcos-eat.click. These cookies are used primarily to ensure the website functions correctly and to remember your preferences.

Third-party cookies are set by external parties — such as Google, Facebook, or other advertising and analytics platforms — whose services we have integrated into our website. These third parties may use cookies to track your activity across multiple websites and serve you targeted advertisements.

2.3 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. They are typically used to maintain your session while navigating through our website, such as keeping items in your food order cart.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period (or until you manually delete them). They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits and to track usage patterns over time.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on marcos-eat.click. Each category serves a distinct purpose, and your rights to accept or reject certain types of cookies may vary.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. Without them, certain features of our site — such as placing a food order, accessing secure areas, or navigating between pages — would not work. Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of the website, they are exempt from consent requirements under applicable US regulations.

Essential cookies may be used to:

• Maintain your session as you move between pages

Analytical cookies help us understand how visitors interact with marcos-eat.click. They collect information about which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on different sections of the site, and whether users encounter any error messages.

We use Google Analytics to collect and process this analytical data. The information gathered helps us improve our website's performance, content, and overall user experience. For more information about how Google uses this data, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies may remember your preferred language, your location for local menu availability, or customizations you have made to your food orders. The information stored by functional cookies does not track your activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising / Marketing Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements and promotional content that is relevant to you and your interests. They help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and limit the number of times you see the same advertisement.

We use advertising cookies to:
