    WordPress Core Cookies

    These cookies are set by WordPress itself. Most are functional or essential — but your cookie policy must still disclose every one.

    WooCommerce Cookie Guide

    Essential vs. Consent-Required

    WooCommerce's cart and session cookies are essential — they don't need consent. But the marketing integrations you add on top (analytics, remarketing, email tools) absolutely do.

    Audit Your Integrations

    Every WooCommerce extension that touches customer data — abandoned cart recovery, review requests, upsell tools — may set cookies that require disclosure and consent.

    Essential (No Consent)

    woocommerce_cart_hash

    Cart contents

    woocommerce_items_in_cart

    Cart status

    wp_woocommerce_session_*

    Session data

    Requires Consent

    GA e-commerce tracking
    Facebook Pixel conversions
    Email marketing integrations
    Abandoned cart recovery tools
