Consent

Usually needed

wp_woocommerce_session_ is in the Functional category. Functional cookies usually need the visitor's consent, unless the cookie is strictly necessary for something the visitor asked for, such as remembering a language they just chose.

GDPR and ePrivacy (EU)
Consent is needed before setting wp_woocommerce_session_, unless it is strictly necessary for a feature the visitor asked for, such as remembering a language they just chose.
UK GDPR and PECR
The same as in the EU: consent first, unless the cookie qualifies for the strictly necessary exemption.
CCPA and CPRA (California)
Disclose wp_woocommerce_session_ in your privacy policy. If the data it stores is shared with third parties, honour opt-out requests, including the Global Privacy Control signal.

Managing wp_woocommerce_session_ with a consent banner

A consent banner can keep the script that sets wp_woocommerce_session_ waiting until the visitor accepts functional cookies. Kukie.io's cookie scanner finds wp_woocommerce_session_ and sorts it into a category. The banner holds back known trackers by default, and any other script you tag with its category waits too.
