Cookies Policy
Last updated:
This Cookies Policy explains how Forcenature ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit forcenature.world. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, remember user preferences, and provide information to site owners. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags, which may serve comparable functions.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and related technologies on forcenature.world to ensure the website operates correctly, remember your cookie consent preferences, maintain session continuity when navigating between pages related to walk group registration and product browsing, analyze how visitors interact with our route pages and gear shop, and improve overall site performance and user experience.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences through our cookie banner, submitting contact forms, or navigating secured areas. Without these cookies, services you request such as walk pass inquiries cannot be provided.
Functional Cookies: These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering navigation state or form progress. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use. If you disable these cookies, some features of forcenature.world may not perform optimally.
Analytics Cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously or in aggregated form. This includes data about which pages are most visited, how long users stay on route and product pages, and whether error messages are encountered. We use this information to improve content about morning walk groups and product offerings.
Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, including which pages load slowly or generate errors. This helps us optimize page delivery and ensure a smooth browsing experience when exploring walk schedules and gear options.
4. Cookie Duration
Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. Our cookie consent preference stored in local storage persists until you clear your browser data or withdraw consent. Analytics cookies typically expire between thirty days and twenty-four months depending on the provider and cookie type.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website may be set by third-party services that appear on our pages. For example, embedded Google Maps on our contact page may set cookies to deliver map functionality and remember display preferences. Google Fonts and Font Awesome CDN services may collect technical data related to font and icon delivery. We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the respective privacy and cookie policies of these providers.
6. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to record your cookie consent choice through our privacy popup banner. The key used is specific to Forcenature and stores whether you have accepted or declined non-essential cookies. This data remains on your device until you clear site data through your browser settings.
7. Managing Cookies
When you first visit forcenature.world, our cookie banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser storage and revisiting the site to make a new selection.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain cookies, or delete cookies when you close the browser. Instructions for managing cookies are typically found in the Help or Settings section of your browser.
Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of our website, including the ability to submit contact forms for walk pass orders or membership inquiries.
8. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) feature that signals websites not to track your browsing activity. Because there is no uniform standard for interpreting DNT signals, forcenature.world does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. You may still manage tracking through cookie settings as described above.
9. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our use of cookies related to morning walk group services and products. Updated versions will be posted on this page with a revised date. We encourage you to review this policy regularly.
