Specific WooCommerce Cookies
To keep our store running smoothly, we use the following WooCommerce-specific cookies:
- woocommerce_cart_hash: Helps WooCommerce know when the cart contents/data changes.
- woocommerce_items_in_cart: Helps WooCommerce know when there are items in the shopping cart.
- 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.
