Cookie Policy

This page explains which cookies Dancing Forest Sp. z o.o. uses on dancing-forest.com, and why. The short version: we use only what the shop needs in order to work. Our visitor statistics run on our own server, set no cookies and collect no personal data. We use no advertising pixels and no third-party trackers, and we do not build profiles of visitors.

Cookies we use

Shop cookies (strictly necessary). When you add something to the basket or start checkout, WooCommerce — the shop software running this site — sets cookies that remember the contents of your basket and your session. Without them the basket empties between pages. They expire when the session ends or within two days.

Account cookies (strictly necessary). If you create an account and log in, WordPress sets a cookie so you stay logged in. It is set only after you log in.

Under the ePrivacy Directive and Polish telecommunications law, cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service the user has requested do not require prior consent. That is why you are not asked to click through a consent banner here — there is nothing to consent to beyond making the shop function.

What we do not use

No Google Analytics. No advertising or remarketing pixels. No social network trackers. No fingerprinting. No profiling or automated decision-making.

Visitor statistics

We count visits with Matomo, which runs on this server rather than in someone else’s cloud. It records which pages were opened and in what order, where the visit came from, and roughly which country it came from. It sets no cookies at all, and it is configured so that nothing identifying is written down: the last two blocks of every IP address are discarded before the visit is stored (83.5.224.62 becomes 83.5.0.0), order numbers are anonymised, and referring addresses are stripped of their query parameters. The statistics live in the same database as the shop, and nothing about your visit is sent to any third party.

Because no cookie is set and no personal data is stored, this does not require your consent under the ePrivacy Directive or the GDPR. If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, the visit is not counted at all. You can also opt out here:

Opt-out complete; your visits to this website will not be recorded by the Web Analytics tool. Note that if you clear your cookies, delete the opt-out cookie, or if you change computers or Web browsers, you will need to perform the opt-out procedure again.

You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analyzing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and creating a better experience for you and other users.

The tracking opt-out feature requires cookies to be enabled.

Fonts and other external requests

The site loads its typefaces from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. Google receives your IP address as part of that request. No cookies are set by these requests. If you would prefer the fonts to be served from our own server instead, tell us and we will change it.

Controlling cookies

Every browser lets you view, block and delete cookies through its settings. Blocking the shop cookies will stop the basket and checkout from working; everything else on the site remains readable.
