Cookie Policy — Papacad
Last updated: 18 August 2025
This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on papacad.com, why we use them, and how you can control them.
1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small files stored on your device by your browser. They help websites work and remember information. Pixels and local storage behave similarly; we call them “cookies” here.
2) How we use cookies
We use:
- Essential cookies – required for the website and store to function (e.g., keeping items in the cart, staying logged in, security). These load without consent.
- Optional cookies (only if you consent) – such as analytics to measure traffic and media/embeds (e.g., YouTube) that set their own cookies when you play content.
3) Your choices
On your first visit we ask for consent for non‑essential cookies. You can accept, reject or customise categories. You can change your choice any time via the cookie banner’s “Manage preferences” link (or your browser settings).
4) Essential store cookies (examples)
The exact set depends on features enabled. Typical WooCommerce cookies:
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
woocommerce_cart_hash, woocommerce_items_in_cart | Remember cart contents | Session |
wp_woocommerce_session_… | Store a unique code to find your cart data | 2 days |
wc_cart_hash_…, wc_fragments_… | Update cart fragments (sometimes used) | Session |
wordpress_logged_in_… | Keep you logged in (for accounts) | Session/2 weeks |
5) Optional cookies (only with consent)
- Analytics (if enabled): aggregate statistics (e.g., pages visited, device types). We don’t use analytics to identify you.
- Media/embeds: playing embedded videos may set third‑party cookies; your consent controls this.
6) Managing cookies
You can revisit the cookie banner to update choices. You can also block/delete cookies via your browser. Blocking essential cookies may break site features (cart, checkout, login).
7) Changes
We may update this policy when we add or remove services that use cookies. The latest version will always be on this page.
