Welcome to Marcos, your trusted destination for delicious food and exceptional dining experiences. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website (marcopizza.rest), and what choices you have regarding their use.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and to protecting your privacy in accordance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act. If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal data, including data collected through cookies.

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 by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to provide reporting information about website activity.
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. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer or device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit a website, the server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this small file on your device. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and recall information about your previous visit. This process enables the website to deliver a personalized and efficient experience.
Cookies can be classified based on their duration:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate a website.
- Persistent Cookies: These 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 that particular cookie.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests.
