Last Updated: June 12, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to marcosmeal.digital, the official website of Marcos, a food business serving our valued customers across the United States. 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 broader Privacy Policy and explains in detail what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control or disable them. Please read this policy carefully. If you have any questions, you can contact us at [email protected].

This policy applies to all pages, features, and services accessible through marcosmeal.digital and complies with applicable United States laws and regulations, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and other applicable state and federal privacy laws.

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 created by the web server and stored in your browser. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, or items added to a shopping cart.

Cookies serve a variety of functions. Some are necessary for the website to function correctly, while others help us understand how visitors interact with our pages, deliver relevant advertisements, or enhance your overall browsing experience.

Cookies are widely used across the internet and are considered a standard technology. They do not contain executable code and cannot carry viruses or malware. However, they can be used to track your online behavior over time, which is why transparency about their use is important.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit marcosmeal.digital, our server sends a cookie file to your browser. Your browser stores this file locally. The next time you visit our website (or, in some cases, another website), your browser sends the cookie back to the server, which reads the information stored in it.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as first-party cookies) or by third-party services that provide content or functionality on that website (known as third-party cookies). Both types may be used on our website.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies such as:

• Web Beacons / Pixel Tags: Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that help us understand user behavior and email engagement.
• Local Storage: A browser-based storage method that allows websites to store data locally on your device beyond the session.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but cleared when your browser tab is closed.
• JavaScript Tags: Scripts that collect information about how you interact with our website.

This Cookie Policy covers all such technologies wherever the term "cookies" is used.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize cookies used on marcosmeal.digital into four main types: Essential, Functional, Analytics, and Advertising. Below is a detailed explanation of each category.

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also called "strictly necessary" cookies) are required for our website to operate correctly. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website would not function, and services you request — such as navigating between pages, submitting forms, or placing a food order — would not be possible.

These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes. They are activated automatically when you use the website and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings without significantly impacting your ability to use the site.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have previously made and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies may remember your preferred language, your location for delivery purposes, items you have saved, or your login credentials so you do not have to re-enter them on each visit.

These cookies improve your experience on our website but are not strictly necessary for the site to function. You may disable them, but doing so may affect certain features.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information such as the pages you visit most frequently, how long you spend on each page, any error messages you may encounter, and how you arrived at our site (for example, through a search engine or social media link).

This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not identify you personally. We use this information to improve the performance, design, and content of our website. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and meaningful to you. They track your browsing habits across our website and potentially other websites, allowing advertising networks to build a profile of your interests and serve you targeted ads.

These cookies may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook). They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

5. Third-Party Cookies and Services

We use several third-party services on marcosmeal.digital that may set their own cookies on your device. These third parties have their own independent privacy and cookie policies, and we do not have control over the cookies they set or how they use the data collected.

The main third-party services we use include:

• Google Analytics: Web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Helps us understand user behavior and improve our website. View Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
