1. Introduction

Welcome to Marcos, your trusted destination for delicious food ordering and dining experiences. When you visit our website at marcosmeal.click, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, understand how our site is used, and deliver relevant content and advertisements to you.

This Cookie Policy is designed to provide you with clear and comprehensive information about what cookies are, which 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 together govern your use of our website and services.

We are committed to being transparent about our data practices in accordance with applicable United States laws and regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection and fair business practices.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. These files are stored in your web browser and allow the website — or third parties — to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, preferences, and behavior over time.

Cookies serve many different purposes. Some cookies are essential for a website to function properly, while others are used to improve performance, personalize your experience, or deliver targeted advertising. Each cookie contains specific data, including the name of the server that placed it, an identifier (usually a unique number), and typically an expiration date.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit marcosmeal.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which then stores it on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall information from your previous visit. This process happens automatically and enables features like keeping items in your cart, remembering your login status, and tailoring content to your preferences.

2.2 Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and email open rates.
  • Local Storage: A feature of modern browsers that allows websites to store data locally on your device beyond standard cookie limitations.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when your browser session ends.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device (browser type, screen resolution, etc.) to create a unique identifier.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Understanding each category will help you make informed decisions about your cookie preferences.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

Essential cookies enable core functions such as:

  • User authentication and secure login sessions
  • Maintaining your shopping cart and order information
  • Remembering your language and regional preferences

  • Load balancing to ensure website stability

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and whether users encounter any error messages. This information is used in aggregate form to help us understand and improve the performance of our site. These cookies do not identify you personally.

We use Google Analytics, one of the most widely used analytics platforms, to collect and analyze website usage data. Google Analytics cookies help us understand traffic sources, user flow, and visitor demographics so we can make data-driven improvements to our food ordering platform.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred delivery address, saved payment methods, favorite menu items, or dietary preferences. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 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 to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, helping us understand which ads lead to food orders and customer sign-ups.
