Our shop uses cookies to improve the user experience and we recommend that you accept their use in order to take full advantage of your browsing experience.

The abc-meubles website undertakes to ensure that the collection and processing of your data complies with the general regulations on data protection (RGPD) and the French Data Protection Act (Loi Informatique et Libertés).

In the following paragraphs we explain what cookies are, the different types of cookies used, why abc-meubles uses them and how they affect your online experience.

What is a cookie and its usefulness?

When you visit the site, information relating to the navigation of your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) on the site may be recorded in text files called "cookies", which are installed on your browser. Cookies will be used to recognise your browser during the period of validity of the cookie concerned.

A cookie is a small text file transferred from a web server to your web browser or hard disk when you visit a website. If your web browser is set to accept cookies, they will be stored in the web browser or hard drive until the expiry date has passed or until you delete the cookies yourself.

In concrete terms, a cookie is a piece of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer. The browser then saves the information and sends it to the web server. When the browser returns to the same site, the cookie will recognise the user. A cookie does not tell us your e-mail address or any other personal information.

A cookie generally contains information such as the domain from which the cookie came, a value that is usually a randomly generated unique identifier and the lifetime (expiration) of the cookie.

Only the issuer of the cookie concerned can read or modify the information contained in it.

Some cookies are essential for the use of the site, others allow the optimisation of the use of the site and the personalisation of the content displayed, thus cookies allow :

  • to measure and analyse the frequentation and use of the site, its sections and the services offered, enabling us to carry out studies and to improve the interest and ergonomics of the site and our services,
  • to memorise the display preferences of your browser (language used, display settings, operating system used, etc.) and to adapt the presentation of the site during your visits, depending on the viewing or reading hardware and software on your terminal used to navigate our site,
  • to store information relating, for example, to a form you have filled in or a service (registration, access to your account) or information you have chosen (subscribed services, contents of your basket),
  • to allow you to access reserved and personal areas of the site or our services, such as your personal account, thanks to identifiers or personal data previously communicated to you, allowing you, if necessary, to access personalised content,
  • to implement security measures.

During your first visit to the site, a banner informs you of the presence of these cookies and invites you to indicate your choice. They are only deposited if you accept them. You can inform yourself at any time and set your cookies to accept or refuse them by configuring your web browser. You will be able to indicate your preference either globally for the site, or service by service.

Our site is likely to contain cookies issued by third parties (performance measurement tools, audience measurement companies, etc.) enabling the latter, during the period of validity of their cookies, to collect browsing information relating to the browsers consulting our site.

At any time you can prevent the collection of information about you via these third party cookies by setting your web browser parameters.

The issue and use of cookies by these companies are subject to their own terms of use.

Sharing the use of your terminal with others
