Last updated: June 14, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Marcos, your trusted food destination. When you visit our website at cafe-marcos.click, we use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, understand how our site is used, and deliver relevant content and advertisements. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, and what choices you have regarding their use.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we collect and process your personal data. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and complying with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding consumer protection and fair business practices.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or our use of cookies, 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. These files contain information that is sent back to the website server each time your browser requests a page from that server. Cookies allow websites to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you do not have to keep re-entering information every time you visit the site or navigate between pages.

Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and 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.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit cafe-marcos.click for the first time, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. On your next visit, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember your preferences. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they may be linked to personal information that you have provided to us.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser until they expire or are manually deleted. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device once you close your browser.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also known as "strictly necessary cookies") are required for the basic functioning of our website. These cookies enable you to navigate our site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas or completing forms. Without these cookies, certain services and features of our website cannot be provided. Because they are strictly necessary for the operation of the website, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools.

Examples of what essential cookies do on our website include:

  • Maintaining your session as you navigate between pages
  • Remembering items you have added to a cart or inquiry form
  • Ensuring website security and preventing fraudulent activity
  • Load balancing to ensure the website performs optimally

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. These cookies allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources, and understand which pages are most popular, helping us improve the overall performance and content of our site. The information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous — we cannot use it to identify individual users.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help analyze how users use our site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have incorporated into our pages. These cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made (such as your preferred language, region, or font size) and provide improved, more personalized features. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

Examples include:

  • Remembering your location or preferred restaurant branch
  • Saving your food preferences or dietary requirements
  • Enabling embedded social media content or videos
  • Remembering if you have previously dismissed a notification or banner

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies (also called "targeting 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. These cookies 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. Quite often, targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization.

We use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) conversion tracking and remarketing cookies to help us understand the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to show you relevant Marcos advertisements on other websites you visit.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or reject cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect the functionality and performance of our website. The specific impacts depend on which type of cookies you disable:

  • Disabling Essential Cookies: If you disable essential cookies, the website may not function properly. You may experience difficulties with navigation, forms may not work correctly, and secure areas of the site may be inaccessible. We strongly recommend keeping essential cookies enabled.
  • Disabling Analytics Cookies: Disabling analytics cookies will prevent us from tracking your visit, which means we will have less information to improve our website's performance and content. Your browsing experience will not be significantly affected, but you may still see the same issues that analytics data would have helped us fix.
  • Disabling Functional Cookies: Disabling functional cookies means that certain personalization features may not work. Your preferences (such as language settings or saved menu favorites) will not be remembered between visits, requiring you to re-enter information each time.
  • Disabling Advertising Cookies: Disabling advertising cookies will not prevent you from seeing advertisements. However, the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests, as they will no longer be tailored to your browsing behavior. You may see the same advertisement more frequently than you would if advertising cookies were enabled.

8. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) regarding your personal information, including data collected through cookies. You have the right to:

  • Know: Request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, the sources of collection, the purposes for collecting it, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
  • Delete: Request deletion of personal information we have collected about you, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Correct: Request correction of inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for interpreting DNT signals, and our website does not respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can still manage your cookie preferences using the methods described in Section 6 of this policy.
