1. Introduction
Welcome to Marcos, your trusted food destination. At marcos-meal.click, we are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy on our website, and how you can control or disable them.
This policy applies to all pages, features, and services available through marcos-meal.click. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools described below, though some features of the website may not function properly as a result.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our website. Together, these documents govern your use of marcos-meal.click and our handling of your personal information.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. These files are created by the web server and stored by your browser. They contain a unique identifier that allows the website to recognize your device the next time you visit.
Cookies serve a wide range of purposes, from enabling essential website functions to helping website owners understand how visitors interact with their content. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, provide better user experiences, and deliver relevant information or advertising to users.
There are two main categories of cookies based on their origin:
- First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by marcos-meal.click and are used primarily to improve your experience on our website.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are set by external service providers, such as Google Analytics or advertising networks, that we use to help run and improve our services.
Cookies can also be categorized by how long they remain on your device:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to track your activity during a single browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser. They are used to remember your preferences or recognize you on future visits.
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also called pixel tags), local storage objects, and fingerprinting techniques. For simplicity, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.
3. How We Use Cookies

- Ensure that our website operates correctly and securely
- Remember your preferences and settings so you don't have to re-enter them each visit
- Understand how visitors navigate and use our website so we can improve our content and services
- Deliver relevant food promotions, offers, and advertisements based on your interests

4. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on marcos-meal.click into four main types, as described below:
4.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features of our website — such as navigation, account login, and order processing — would not work. These cookies do not collect any personal information and cannot be disabled without affecting the functionality of the website.
These cookies are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging into your account, or filling out a form. They help maintain security and user sessions throughout your visit.
4.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies allow us to collect information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and any error messages they encounter. This data helps us understand user behavior and improve the overall experience on marcos-meal.click.
We use Google Analytics to gather this information. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify individual users. However, the cookies used by Google Analytics may collect your IP address and other technical information, which Google may process in accordance with its own privacy policies. As required under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information, which may include certain analytics data.
4.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable our website to provide enhanced features and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our website. These cookies remember your choices, such as your language preferences, location settings, or customized food options, so we can provide a more tailored experience on return visits.
If you disable functional cookies, some or all of these personalized features may not work correctly, though the website will still be accessible and usable.
4.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and meaningful to you based on your browsing history and interests. These cookies may be set by us or by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and similar platforms. They track your visits across different websites to build a profile of your interests and display targeted advertisements.
These cookies also help us measure the performance of our advertising campaigns by tracking which ads you have seen and whether you clicked on them. This allows us to optimize our marketing spend and ensure we are reaching the right audiences with relevant food promotions and offers.
