Cookie Policy
Last updated: [27/10/2025]
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. Their purpose is to remember information about your visit—for example, preferred language, items in the cart, or session parameters—to improve your experience and enable certain technical or analytical functionalities.
2. Why do we use cookies on forestpioneer.es?
On forestpioneer.es (.com and .fr), we use cookies primarily to:
- E-commerce functionality (WooCommerce): maintain the shopping cart, manage the session, and the checkout process.
- Geolocation / language detection: automatically detect the visitor’s country/language (via IP and/or headers) to display the website in the most appropriate language and save the preference.
- Analytics: measure how the website is used to improve content and performance (Google Analytics).
- Advertising and marketing (if applicable): measure the effectiveness of campaigns (Google Ads, Facebook/Meta) and display relevant ads; they are only activated with your consent.
Important: strictly necessary cookies (e.g., those for the WooCommerce cart) are always activated and do not require your consent; analytics and advertising cookies do require clear prior consent.
3. Categories of cookies we use
-
Strictly necessary cookies (functional): These are essential to enable website navigation, access to secure areas, or maintain an active session when required. Without them, some functionalities might not be available.
-
Statistics cookies: They allow us to measure the number of visits, traffic sources, most viewed pages, and other metrics that help us optimize our site and its content.

5. Legal basis and retention
Essential cookies are justified by the performance of the service requested by the user (cart functionality, session). Analytics and advertising cookies are based on your explicit consent, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Organic Law 3/2018 (LOPDGDD).
We store the record of your consent choice in a first-party cookie called fp_cookies_consent for a period of 12 months, unless you indicate otherwise or manually delete the cookies.
6. How to manage and revoke your consent
You can configure your preferences at any time from the Cookie settings link in the footer or via the modal you will see when entering the site. You can also delete or block cookies from your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
- Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
Please note that if you disable essential cookies, some store functions (cart, checkout process, login) will no longer work correctly.
7. Third-party providers
Some services used on the website (e.g., Google Analytics, Google Ads, Facebook/Meta) may set third-party cookies when activated with your consent. Each provider has its own privacy policy and tools to manage preferences:
8. Language detection and geolocation
To improve the experience, we detect the visitor’s approximate country/language using the IP address or the browser’s language header. This detection may create a functional cookie (e.g., fp_lang) that remembers the language preference if you choose to keep it. If you do not want this preference to be detected or stored, you can change the language manually or delete the preference cookie in your browser.
9. Consent logging and retention
We keep a technical log of consent (accepted categories and timestamp) to demonstrate regulatory compliance. This log is stored in the fp_cookies_consent cookie and in internal records (if applicable).
10. Updates
We will update this policy when cookie usage or regulations change. The Last updated date above indicates the current version.
