Redirect users to another page when they are not browsing from Spain

Question

Thanks for your help. I am experimenting some trouble when I try to redirect users based on their location through Freegeoip.

May be for you is simple but i can´t get it work, the behaivour should be:

All visitors go to the spanish website www.theWeb.es, but those who browser from out of Spain should be redirected to the international page www.theInternationalWeb.com.

Code:

<script>
     jQuery.ajax( { url: 'https://www.freegeoip.net/json/',
    type: 'POST',  
    dataType: 'jsonp',  
    success: function(location) {
        if (location.country_code === 'ES') {
        // Do nothing because the user is already in the spanish Store.
        else {
        // if the user is not in Spain the send him to the international store.
          window.top.location.href = 'http://theInternationalWeb.com';
         }
    } }}); 
    </script>

Thanks for your time.

Addittional info:

The international website also redirects spanish users to the spanish website, and it seems to be doing it well because it redirects me everytime( i am located in Spain )

<script>


     jQuery.ajax( {
   url: 'https://www.freegeoip.net/json/',
  type: 'POST',
  dataType: 'jsonp',
  success: function(location) {
    if (location.country_code === 'ES') {
      // Redirect him to the Spanish store.
      window.top.location.href = 'http://myWeb.es';} 
  }} );

</script>

IMPORTANT:

I have checked the code and put and alert to detect which location.country_code I have , and it seems that the jsonp is giving me the french country code FR instead of the spanish one ES. So the problem it is not with the code but with the information the FreeGeoIP is giving me. Anyone knows why?

Use type:'GET'

jQuery.ajax( { url: 'https://www.freegeoip.net/json/', type: 'GET', dataType: 'jsonp', success: function(location) { if (location.country_code === 'ES') { // Do nothing because the user is already in the spanish Store. else { // if the user is not in Spain the send him to the international store. location.href = 'http://theInternationalWeb.com'; } } }});
