Transient or session cookies
Session cookies, archived in temporary memory and removed on closing the browser, used solely for "transmitting a communication on an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary to the supplier of a service of an information company explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide such service", allow a website to be used efficiently, tracking impressions of its pages in order not to request information already acquired and/or issued by the user's browser during the same connection session.
These cookies may be divided further into browsing or session cookies, which enable the normal browsing and exploitation of the website (permitting purchases or authentication for accessing private areas, for example); analytics cookies, similar to transient cookies where used directly by the site operator to collect aggregated information, on the number of users and how they visit the site; functionality cookies, which allow the user to browse based on a series of pre-selected criteria (for example, site language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided.
For transient or session cookies to be installed the prior consent of the person concerned is not required. This does not however affect the obligation for the Processing owner to disclose this mandatory information, according to Art. 13 of the Personal data protection code, which the site operator, when solely these devices are used, must provide according to the methods deemed most appropriate.
Transient or session cookies used by www.abocashop.com, allow avoiding re-entering the same information, such as username and password, multiple times during the visit, analysing the use of the services and content provided to optimise the browsing experience and the services offered.
Persistent or profiling cookies
On the contrary, persistent or profiling cookies are aimed at creating user profiles, are archived on the user's hard disk and are available on reopening the browser. They save the preferences of users for current and subsequent visits and may be used for sending advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the person concerned, recorded during sessions of connection.

The provision of article 122 of the Personal data protection code, which expressly provides that "the archiving of information in the terminal of a counterparty or a user or access to information already archived are permitted solely on the condition that the counterparty or the user has given his or her consent after having been informed via the simplified methods provided for in article 13(3)", is deemed to refer to this type of cookies.

Sending this data to third parties by means of Google may only take place following legal provisions are as part of data processing on behalf of third parties.
