This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on marcos-food.top, and what choices you have regarding their use. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and ensuring that your experience on our website is both seamless and secure.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. By accessing or using marcos-food.top, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Cookie Policy.

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, such as your preferences, settings, and browsing activity.
Cookies serve many purposes. Some cookies are essential for a website to function properly, while others help website owners understand how visitors interact with their site, deliver personalized content, or show relevant advertisements. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they may be linked to information that identifies you when combined with other data.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit marcos-food.top for the first time, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie on your device. On subsequent visits, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences or session information.
Cookies can be classified in several ways:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browsing session. They are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time (defined by the cookie's expiration date) or until you manually delete them. They are reactivated every time you visit the website that created them.
- First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by marcos-food.top and can only be read by us.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are set by external services or platforms (such as Google Analytics or Facebook) that provide features on our website. These third parties may access and use these cookies in accordance with their own privacy policies.
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 allow us to track user behavior and measure the effectiveness of our communications.
- Local Storage: A feature of modern web browsers that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
- JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code embedded in our website that help us collect analytics and track interactions.
All references to "cookies" in this policy also apply to these similar technologies unless otherwise stated.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on marcos-food.top. Each category serves a specific purpose, and we describe each one in detail below.
3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies
These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features and services on marcos-food.top would not work. For example, essential cookies enable you to navigate our website, place orders, access secure areas, and use your shopping cart. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website, they do not require your consent under applicable law.
Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and cannot be used to track your activity on other websites.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with marcos-food.top. These cookies collect information about which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, any errors you encounter, and how you arrived at our website. We use this data to improve the performance, design, and content of our website.
We primarily use Google Analytics to collect and analyze this information. The data collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not directly identify you as an individual.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, functional cookies may remember your language preferences, your location, your previously viewed food items, or your login status. These cookies improve your overall experience on marcos-food.top by reducing the need to re-enter information on each visit.
Information collected by functional cookies may be anonymized, and these cookies cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and meaningful to you. These cookies track your browsing habits and interests to show you personalized ads, both on marcos-food.top and on other websites you visit. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.
We use advertising cookies from trusted third-party partners, including Google Ads and Facebook. These partners may combine information collected through advertising cookies with other information they have about you to deliver targeted advertising across the internet. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for more information about their data practices.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies
While you have the right to manage and restrict cookies, please be aware that disabling certain types of cookies may affect the functionality and performance of marcos-food.top. Below, we outline what may happen if you choose to disable different categories of cookies:
7.1 Disabling Essential Cookies
7.2 Disabling Analytics Cookies
If you disable analytics cookies, we will not be able to collect data about how you use our website. While this will not affect your ability to browse or make purchases, it limits our ability to improve the performance, design, and content of marcos-food.top based on real user behavior. Your browsing experience will remain largely unaffected.
7.3 Disabling Functional Cookies
Disabling functional cookies means our website will not remember your preferences between visits. You may need to re-enter your language preferences, dietary filters, or other settings each time you visit marcos-food.top. Some personalized features, such as product recommendations based on your browsing history, may also be unavailable.
7.4 Disabling Advertising Cookies
If you disable advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements on marcos-food.top and on other websites, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Disabling advertising cookies does not remove all advertising; it simply means that the ads shown to you will be based on generic criteria rather than your personal browsing history and preferences.
