We use 6 groups of cookies: Google Analytics cookies, Woocommerce cookies, Pop-up Cookie Consent Cookie, Twitter cookie, Facebook and Google maps cookies.

Woocommerce Cookies

To keep track of cart data, WooCommerce makes use of 3 cookies:

  • woocommerce_items_in_cart
  • wp_woocommerce_session_

The first two cookies contain information about the cart as a whole and help WooCommerce know when the cart data changes. The final cookie (wp_woocommerce_session_) contains a unique code for each customer so that it knows where to find the cart data in the database for each customer. No personal information is stored within these cookies.
