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

1. Introduction

Welcome to Marcos. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your use of our website. This Cookie Policy forms part of our Privacy Policy and explains what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, how we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy applies to all pages and services available through marcos-pizza.rest. Please read this policy carefully. If you have any questions, you can 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 to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, language settings, and actions taken on the site.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser. Your browser then stores the cookie locally, and the next time you visit the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server. This process allows the website to recognize you and remember your preferences.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies are not viruses or malware — they are simple text files and cannot execute code or be used to deliver viruses.

2.1 Types of Cookies by Duration

Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session as you navigate through our website.
Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Origin

First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by our website (marcos-pizza.rest) on your device.
Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by a domain other than ours, typically by third-party services such as analytics providers or advertisers.

3. Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may 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 user behavior and email opens.
Local Storage: A mechanism that allows websites to store data locally within your browser, similar to cookies but with larger storage capacity.
JavaScript Tags: Scripts that collect information about your interactions with our website and send that data to third-party analytics or advertising platforms.
Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device's hardware and software configuration to create a unique identifier.

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

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

4.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems.

Without these cookies, certain services on our website cannot be provided. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

4.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, please be aware that doing so may significantly affect your experience on our website. The following table outlines the potential impact of disabling each category of cookies:

Analytics Cookies	We will be unable to monitor website performance or understand how visitors use our site. This may limit our ability to identify and fix technical issues or improve your experience. Your use of the website will not be directly affected.
Functional Cookies	Personalization features will not work. You may need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit, your shopping cart may not be preserved between sessions, and location-based features may be limited.
Advertising Cookies	You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same ads repeatedly, and we will have limited ability to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

Note: Disabling third-party cookies in your browser settings will affect not only our website but all websites you visit that use those third-party services.

10. 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 how websites should respond to DNT signals.

However, as noted above, we do honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by applicable law.
