Last Updated: June 7, 2026

Summary: This Cookie Policy explains how Marcos ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on foodmarcos.rest. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Marcos. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website located at foodmarcos.rest, and what choices you have regarding their use. 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 the technologies we use. As a food business serving customers in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines concerning online tracking and consumer privacy.

By accessing or using foodmarcos.rest, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may disable them using the methods described in Section 7 of this policy, though doing so may affect the functionality of certain features on our website.

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 improve 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 foodmarcos.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your device's browser. Your browser stores the cookie in a small file. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server. This allows us to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your language preference, items in your shopping cart, or your login status.

Cookies can be "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies exist only during an online session and disappear from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser and can be used to remember your preferences and settings when you return to our website.

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): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track page visits or email opens.
Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
Session Storage: Similar to local storage but the data is cleared when the browser session ends.
JavaScript: Code that collects information about how you interact with our website.

For the purposes of this policy, all of these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into four main types based on their purpose:

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are absolutely necessary for the website to function properly. Without these cookies, our website would not work correctly, and services you have asked for, such as placing a food order or accessing secure areas, could not be provided. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website to you, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our site functions.

Essential cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing purposes and do not remember where you have been on the internet.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages visitors go to most often, how long they spend on each page, and whether they receive error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor directly. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this information to improve how our website works and to understand our audience better.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language preference, or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, functional cookies may be used to remember your food preferences or recently viewed menu items. 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 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 the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
