    Hello, please help…

    We are trying to implement GDPR, could you please answer the following questions about your plugin which we use?
    ? Does your plugin set cookies?
    ? How many cookies does it set?
    ? What are the names of the cookies?
    ? What is their function? – Can you please categorise them as either –
    A) Necessary
    B) Preferences
    C) Statistics
    D) Marketing
    ? Does the plugin need these cookies to function?
    ? Where is the code which sets these cookies? (Please provide folder name, file name and line number if available).
    ? Do you have any plans to alter your plugin for GDPR?
    We thank you very much for your help.

    Hello @lanxalot,

    Yes, eCommerce Product Catalog use PHPSESSID cookie to manage PHP Session. If your server has PHP Sessions disabled it uses _wp_session cookie.

    The cookie falls in Necessary category.

    The plugin needs this cookie to save the user session ID for the filters, sorting and the cart functionality (if enabled).

    There are 2 functions that set this cookie: set_product_catalog_session() and get_product_catalog_session(). Both are located in includes/product-filters.php.

    In next version (release date before 25 May) we will add a privacy menu inside the plugin settings and privacy info on the plugin page on www.ads-software.com.

    The information provided previously is no longer accurate.

    Starting from version 2.8.6 eCommerce Product Catalog is cookie-free. It doesn’t use any cookies in the default configuration.

    A PHPSESSID or _wp_session cookie is used only if you enable Quote Cart or Shopping Cart. This cookie will store the session id (a random string) to make the cart functionality work correctly.
