Cookie Policy
In two lines: this site uses the technical cookies needed to make it work (cart, checkout, security and the memory of your cookie choice). Statistics and marketing cookies are used only with your consent. Below is the exact list, with names, instead of a generic description.
What is on the site today
Two measurement tools are installed: Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd.) for statistics and the Meta Pixel with the Conversions API (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.) for marketing. There is no Google Tag Manager and no other advertising tool.
Neither of them starts before your choice: on your first visit the banner appears and, until you consent, no statistics or marketing cookie is written and no data is sent. Google's Consent Mode starts with every permission set to «denied»; the Meta code is not even loaded.
Necessary cookies — no consent required
They make the site work and cannot be switched off: without them the cart and the checkout do not work.
| Name | Set by | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
ls_consent | Longstone | 6 months | Your cookie choice, so it is not asked again at every visit. |

Statistics cookies — only with your consent
They tell us how many people visit a page and which boots they look at. They help us understand what to improve, not to recognise you as a person.
| Name | Set by | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* | Google Ireland Ltd. | 2 years | Distinguish visitors and sessions. |
sbjs_* | Longstone (WooCommerce) | 6 months | Remember which campaign or search brought you here, to attribute the order (WooCommerce). |
Marketing cookies — only with your consent
They let us measure the results of our campaigns on Facebook and Instagram and avoid showing you the same ad again and again. With the same consent our server also sends Meta the main shop events (product viewed, added to cart, checkout started, payment details added, contact request, order placed) with your IP address, browser and the Meta identifiers fbp and fbc; for an order also the order data (amount, products) and your e-mail, phone, name, city, postcode and country in hashed (pseudonymised) form, so that an ad blocker does not leave the sale unmeasured (Conversions API).
| Name | Set by | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
_fbp | Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. | 3 months | Distinguish visitors for the measurement of Meta ads. |
fr | Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. | 3 months | Set on facebook.com: advertising measurement and delivery by Meta. |
Browser storage (not cookies)
The site also keeps a few values in your browser's local storage, which never leave it: ls_lang (the language you chose), ls_consent_log (when and what you chose about cookies), ls_purchase_sent (so that reloading the order confirmation does not count the order twice), and the WooCommerce cart fragments.
How consent works, in practice
- Until you choose, no measurement script is loaded: the block is preventive, not a promise.
- «Accept all» and «Refuse all» have the same look, the same size and the same number of clicks. Refusing must not cost more effort than accepting.
- You can choose item by item (statistics and marketing separately) with the «Choose» button.
- Your choice is kept for 6 months, then it is asked again. You can change or withdraw it at any time with the «Cookie» link at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw it, the statistics and marketing cookies already present are deleted.
Managing cookies from your browser
You can also block or delete cookies from your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge all have a privacy section). Note: if you disable technical cookies, the cart and the checkout stop working.
