What is a Cookie?

This website uses cookies and/or similar technologies that store and retrieve information when you browse. In general, these technologies can serve a wide variety of purposes, such as recognizing you as a user, obtaining information about your browsing habits, or personalizing the way content is displayed.

Cookies are files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded to the browser or the user’s device (smartphone, tablet, or connected TV) when visiting a website. Their main purpose is to store information about your visit and recognize the user each time they access the website. This also allows us to improve the quality and usability of our website.

Cookies are essential for the functioning of the Internet; they cannot damage the user’s equipment/device, and if they are enabled in your browser settings, they help us identify and resolve possible operational errors on www.abessis.com.

Like most websites on the Internet, this site uses cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, to store preferences such as the language you have selected or font size, to understand the user’s browsing experience, and to collect anonymous statistical information, such as which pages the user has visited or how long they have stayed on the website.

Types of Cookies

There are different types of cookies. They all work in the same way but have slight differences:

Session Cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are typically used to store information that is only relevant for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends. Session cookies last only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close the browser. Their main purpose is to identify the type of device, support website security, or its basic functionality. They do not contain personal information that allows us to identify an individual.

Persistent or Permanent Cookies: These are cookies in which the data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie’s controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years. They are stored on the device’s hard drive, and our website reads them every time you make a new visit to the site; they have a specific expiration date, after which the cookie stops working. They allow us to identify your actions and preferences, analyze visits, and help us understand how users reach our page and improve our services.

Technical Cookies, Strictly Necessary: (exempt from the obligations established in Article 22.2 of the LSSI when they enable the provision of the service requested by the user). These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services available on it, including those used by the publisher to manage and operate the website and enable its functions and services, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items that make up an order, completing the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud related to service security, processing registration or event participation requests, counting visits for billing purposes related to software licenses that power the service (website, platform, or application), using security features during navigation, storing content for video or audio playback, enabling dynamic content (e.g., text or image loading animation), or sharing content via social networks.

Preference or Personalization Cookies: These allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of results to display when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service, or the region from which they access it, etc.

Geolocation Cookies: These are used to determine the country or region where the user is located when accessing a website service, in order to offer content or services appropriate to their location.

Analytics or Measurement Cookies: These allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyze the behavior of users on the websites to which they are linked, including quantifying the impact of advertisements. The information collected through these cookies is used to measure the activity of websites, applications, or platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of usage data provided by users of the service.

Behavioral Advertising Cookies: These store information about users’ behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.

  • Anonymous: These only collect information about the advertising spaces displayed on the website, regardless of the user accessing the site, i.e., without expressly identifying them.
  • Personalized: These collect personal information about the website user by a third party, for the personalization of those advertising spaces.

Functionality Cookies: These allow decisions made by the user to be remembered, such as their login or identifier. The information collected by these cookies is anonymized (i.e., it does not contain your name, address, or other data).

First-Party Cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

Third-Party Cookies: Third-party cookies are those installed by a website other than the one you are visiting; for example, those used by social networks (such as Facebook) or external content plugins (such as Google Maps). Additionally, some advertising companies use these types of files to track your visits across the sites where they advertise.
