Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 8, 2026

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, marcopizza.click. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and why we use cookies, as well as your rights to control their use.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect and process personal data. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to 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 Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie on your device. On your next visit, the cookie is sent back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information, but personal data that we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar technologies on our website, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track page views, email opens, and other interactions.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when your browsing session ends.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device configuration to create a unique identifier.

Throughout this policy, when we refer to "cookies," we mean all of these technologies collectively unless otherwise specified.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a specific purpose and has different implications for your privacy and your experience on our website.

3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

Essential cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, certain features of our website would not work properly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled through our cookie consent tool, as they are strictly necessary for the provision of our online services.

Examples of what essential cookies do on our website:

  • Remember items you have added to your online order or cart

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve the way our website works and identify areas for enhancement. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymized.

Specifically, we use Google Analytics to help us understand visitor behavior, popular pages, traffic sources, and overall site performance. Google Analytics uses a set of cookies to collect information and report website usage statistics without personally identifying individual visitors to Google.

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 added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

Functional cookies on our website may be used to:

  • Remember your language preferences
  • Remember your location for delivery purposes
  • Remember your preferred ordering options
  • Enable social media sharing features
  • Provide live chat functionality
  • Remember your accessibility settings

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging for you. They may be set through our website by our advertising partners. These cookies 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.

We use Google Ads cookies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to show you relevant advertisements both on our website and across the internet. These cookies track your online activity after clicking on one of our advertisements.

5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

We operate under the laws of the United States. Our use of cookies is governed by the following legal frameworks:

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or reject cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience on our website. The impact depends on which types of cookies you disable:

  • Your session data will not be preserved as you navigate between pages
  • Secure payment processing may not function correctly

7.3 Disabling Functional Cookies

If you disable functional cookies, some personalized features may not work properly. For example:

  • Your location preferences may not be saved, requiring you to re-enter your delivery address each visit

7.4 Disabling Advertising Cookies

If you disable advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests and behaviors. Disabling these cookies does not mean you will see fewer ads overall — it means the ads you see will be less personalized.

8. Cookies and Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to us through cookie-based tracking, please contact us using the details below so we can take appropriate action.

9. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can use the opt-out tools described in Section 6 of this policy to limit tracking on our website.
