Last Updated: May 22, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Marcos, your trusted destination for quality food products and services. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website marcos-food.digital, and the choices you have regarding their use.

At Marcos, we are committed to transparency about our data practices. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website or use our services.

This Cookie Policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who access our website at marcos-food.digital. By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.

When you visit marcos-food.digital, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions from previous visits.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. This allows us to improve your experience on our website and provide more relevant content and services.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you land on any page of our website, a small file containing a string of characters is sent to your browser and stored on your device. This file is called a cookie. Each cookie has a name, a value, and several attributes including the domain it belongs to, the path it applies to, an expiration date, and security settings.

Cookies can be either session cookies — which are temporary and deleted when you close your browser — or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.

Cookies set directly by our website (marcos-food.digital) are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by other companies whose content appears on our website (such as Google Analytics or advertising partners) are called third-party cookies.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a user has accessed the page or opened an email.
• Local Storage: A browser-based storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally on your device for improved performance.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device settings and browser configuration to create a unique identifier.

This Cookie Policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as "cookies" throughout this document.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Each serves a distinct purpose and plays a specific role in your browsing experience.
