Last Updated: July 24, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Marcos, your trusted food delivery service. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. 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 or interact with our website at delivery-marcos.click. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our platform.

By accessing and using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools described in this document. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

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. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, and to generate reporting information about website usage.

Cookies are created by a web server and sent to a web browser, where they are stored. Each time you return to the same website, the browser sends these cookies back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website (known as "third-party cookies"). Both types may be either session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them).

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit delivery-marcos.click for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie and sends it back with subsequent requests to our server. This process enables us to:

  • Recognize you as a returning visitor
  • Remember your login credentials and preferences
  • Keep track of your shopping cart contents
  • Analyze how you interact with our website
  • Serve you relevant advertisements based on your interests
  • Improve our services based on user behavior data

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that help us understand user behavior and measure campaign effectiveness.
  • Local Storage: A mechanism in your browser that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with larger storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that is cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
  • JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that collect information about your interactions with our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a different purpose, and some are more critical to the functioning of our website than others.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, doing so may significantly impact your experience on our website. The specific consequences depend on which types of cookies you disable:

Cookie Type Impact if Disabled
Essential Cookies Our website may not function properly. You may be unable to log in, add items to your cart, complete food orders, or make payments. Core functionality will be severely limited.
Analytics Cookies We will not be able to collect data about how you use our website. This limits our ability to improve user experience and identify technical issues, but will not directly affect your ability to use the site.
Functional Cookies You may need to re-enter your preferences (such as delivery address, dietary requirements, and language settings) each time you visit our website, as we will not be able to remember them.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same ads repeatedly, and we will not be able to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

8. Legal Basis and Compliance

As a business operating in the United States, our use of cookies is governed by applicable federal and state laws. We comply with the following legal frameworks:

  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA): California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected through cookies, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right to request deletion of their data. Our advertising and analytics cookies may involve the "sharing" of personal information as defined under CPRA. California residents can exercise their rights by contacting us at the details below or using our cookie consent tool.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website does not currently respond to browser DNT signals. However, you can use the opt-out tools listed in Section 6.3 above to limit tracking activities on our website and across the internet.

We continue to monitor developments in DNT standards and will update our practices accordingly if a uniform standard is adopted.
