Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 8, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Marcos ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website marcos.rest, and what choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand exactly what information is collected through cookies on our website, why we collect it, and how you can exercise control over it.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact us at [email protected].

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 websites work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized browsing experience, and to gather reporting information about site usage.

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 analytics, advertising, interactive content, and social media integrations.

Cookies can be classified based on their duration:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They are used to keep track of your movements within a website during a single browsing session.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie, or until you delete them manually. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie.

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit marcos.rest, 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 the server, allowing the server to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies cannot access, read, or modify any other data on your computer. They do not 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 and our partners to provide you with a more tailored experience.

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

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that monitor whether you have viewed a page or email.
• Local Storage: A way for websites to store data locally within your browser, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browsing session ends.
• Fingerprinting: Collecting information about your device's settings and configurations to create a unique identifier.

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

9. Impact of Disabling Cookies

Please be aware that if you choose to block or delete cookies, certain features and functionalities of our website may not work as intended. The impact depends on which type of cookies you disable:

• Disabling Essential Cookies: If you disable essential cookies, our website may not function properly. You may not be able to place orders, log in to your account, or navigate between pages correctly. We strongly advise against disabling essential cookies.
• Disabling Analytics Cookies: If you disable analytics cookies, we will not be able to monitor and improve the performance of our website. This will not significantly affect your browsing experience, but it limits our ability to enhance our services based on user behavior.
• Disabling Functional Cookies: If you disable functional cookies, some personalization features will not work. For example, your language preference, location settings, or dietary filters may not be saved between visits, requiring you to re-enter them each time.
• Disabling Advertising Cookies: If you disable advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may also see the same ads more frequently, as the system will not be able to cap the frequency of ad display.

10. Third-Party Cookies and External Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, plug-ins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you.

11. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no uniform standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals, and we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or other mechanisms that automatically communicate your choice not to be tracked online.

However, we do honor opt-out preferences communicated through our cookie consent banner and through the opt-out tools listed in Section 8 of this policy. If and when a final standard is established and we are required to respond to DNT signals, we will update this Cookie Policy accordingly.
