1. Introduction
Welcome to Marcos, your trusted food destination. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience on our website, cafemarcos.click. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what choices you have regarding their use, and how they affect your experience on our platform.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website. This Cookie Policy applies to all users who visit cafemarcos.click, regardless of their geographic location. For users in California, additional rights may apply under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.
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. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner — in this case, Marcos — are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit cafemarcos.click for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser. The browser stores this file on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions.
Cookies may store a variety of information, including your preferences, login status, items in a shopping cart, language settings, and behavioral data used for analytics and advertising purposes. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information by themselves, but they may be linked to personal information we already hold about you.
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page or email has been opened.
- Local Storage: A feature of your browser that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but capable of storing larger amounts of data.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but the data is cleared when your browser session ends.
- Scripts: Pieces of JavaScript code that collect information about your interactions with our website.
For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use several categories of cookies on cafemarcos.click. Each category serves a specific purpose and has different implications for your privacy and browsing experience.
3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. Without these cookies, services you have requested — such as browsing our menu or placing an order — cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing or to remember where you have been on the internet.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the delivery of our website and services, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our website functions. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, but this may affect how our website works for you.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data solely to improve how our website works and to understand how users interact with our content.
We use Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information. This information is processed in a way that does not identify anyone personally.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make — such as your preferred language, your location, or customizations you have made to text size and other parts of web pages — and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement, as well as 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 to serve relevant advertisements to users who have previously visited our website. These cookies may collect information about your browsing habits across various websites.

8. Do Not Track Signals

However, we do honor opt-out requests made through the tools and methods described in Section 6 of this policy.
California residents may also exercise their rights under the CCPA/CPRA to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information by contacting us directly or using our website's privacy controls.
