Examples of Store Cookies
When WooCommerce features are active, cookies similar to the following may be used:
- woocommerce_cart_hash and woocommerce_items_in_cart — help determine when cart contents change.
- wp_woocommerce_session_* — assigns a session identifier so cart information can be retrieved.
- wordpress_logged_in_* — helps recognize logged-in users.
- wp-settings-* — may help remember user-interface preferences.
The asterisk indicates that part of a cookie name may vary by website or user.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set or accessed by third-party service providers that support our store, such as Stripe, digital-wallet providers, analytics platforms, advertising platforms, security services, embedded content and social-media services.
Third parties process information under their own privacy and cookie policies. Their cookie names, purposes and durations are controlled by those providers and may change independently of BranBear.
Managing Your Cookie Choices
Where a cookie-consent tool is available on our website, you can use it to accept, reject or adjust optional cookie categories. Strictly necessary cookies cannot normally be disabled through that tool because they support essential store and security functions.
You can also use browser settings to block, delete or receive alerts about cookies. The steps vary by browser and device. Blocking necessary cookies may prevent the cart, account, checkout or payment features from operating correctly.
Privacy opt-out: Where applicable under U.S. state law, you may request to opt out of certain cookie-based sale, sharing or targeted advertising by using our available privacy controls or emailing contact@branbear.com with the subject “Privacy Opt-Out Request.”
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting, but there is not one universally accepted technical standard for responding to all such signals. We will handle legally recognized browser-based opt-out signals where required by applicable law and supported by our website configuration.
Personal Information and Your Rights
Cookie data may qualify as personal information under certain laws. For more information about our data practices, service providers, retention and privacy rights, review our Privacy Policy.
