Cookies & browser storage

Cookies and browser storage can remember information between visits or within a session. WECAREU uses local storage for your shopping bag, delivery country, language preference where available, and privacy choices. Session storage supports checkout recovery and order confirmation. These features help preserve your choices and prevent duplicate checkout attempts.

Local storage remains until cleared by your browser or the relevant feature. Session storage normally ends with the browser tab’s session. Clearing checkout recovery information during an unresolved payment can make recovery harder; contact us first if a payment result is uncertain.

Where configured and allowed for your region, the page-delivery layer can count requests for approved public pages into time-bucketed totals, grouped by page type, country and broad source category. This counting does not run browser analytics code, create a visitor or session identifier, store a complete referring URL, URL query or IP address in the count, or associate counts with an order. It does not measure unique visitors, sessions or conversions. Delivery and security providers may separately process the information needed to deliver and protect the site.

You can turn basic page counts off in Privacy choices. A non-unique preference cookie, wc-basic-counts=off, tells the delivery layer to exclude this browser while the preference is available. It is restricted to this host and path /, uses SameSite=Lax and Secure on HTTPS, and lasts up to 180 days. Allowing counts removes the off preference. The cookie contains no visitor identifier. Saving an off preference stops counting subsequent eligible page requests while the cookie is available; it does not erase anonymous totals already formed. A choice held only in older local storage cannot be read by the delivery layer before the first page request. A stored earlier privacy choice does not automatically grant this new purpose.

Store analytics, Google Analytics and advertising measurement are off until you allow their respective purpose. Store analytics uses WECAREU’s own visitor, session and attribution records to understand visits and shopping activity; its browser visitor identifier lasts up to 90 days. Google Analytics sends permitted browsing and shopping events to Google when configured. Google Ads conversion measurement uses the advertising measurement choice. Allowing Google Analytics alone does not create WECAREU’s own visitor, session or order-attribution records, and advertising measurement does not enable personalized advertising.

Previously saved analytics permission can apply only to store analytics; it does not automatically enable Google Analytics. Optional analytics permissions expire after 180 days and require a new choice. A saved sale or sharing opt-out does not extend an analytics permission and remains in effect until you change it or clear browser storage.

Withdrawing a purpose stops its new optional collection. Withdrawing store analytics clears its browser identifiers and attribution records; withdrawing Google Analytics or advertising measurement clears the corresponding Google measurement cookies that this store can access. It does not retrieve information already sent to a provider, remove your bag, or prevent essential order processing. Use the privacy policy contact to request access or deletion of records held by us.

Cloudflare and payment providers may use their own necessary security or transaction technologies when you use their services. PayPal and Google Pay apply their own policies to wallet interactions. A security challenge may be loaded when submitting a protected checkout or order lookup request if that protection is configured.

Use “Privacy choices” in the footer to reopen your settings at any time. “Reject optional” turns off basic counts, store analytics, Google Analytics and advertising measurement. “Accept optional” allows all four where configured and permitted, but does not override a saved opt-out or an enabled Global Privacy Control signal.

“Do not sell or share my personal information” saves a browser opt-out that turns off Google Analytics and advertising measurement. We apply an enabled Global Privacy Control signal without asking you to override it. Basic page counts retain their separate preference; store analytics can run alongside the opt-out only when separately allowed, and its permission still expires after 180 days.

These settings apply to this browser; use them on other browsers or contact us for other privacy requests. You can also clear or block cookies and storage in browser settings. Blocking storage can prevent choices from being remembered and can affect your bag, delivery preferences or checkout recovery. If a choice cannot be saved, the page shows an error and keeps optional browser measurement off.
