Managing wc_cart_created with a Consent Banner

A consent management platform lists wc_cart_created in the banner's cookie table under the necessary category. Because it is strictly necessary, it stays active without an opt-in, but disclosing it keeps your cookie policy accurate. Kukie.io's scanner detects it automatically and keeps the disclosure up to date as your site changes.
