Cookies & browser storage
Know what is used, why it is needed and how to stay in control.
Your browser, your choice.
Account security storage is needed when you sign in. Optional storage remembers your tutorial progress and selected plan currency and payment option on this device. It is off until you allow it. Visitor analytics has a separate opt-in below. The website adds no advertising trackers.
Loading your choice…
Counts public page views, approximate countries and broad device types. Off until you choose. Analytics permission is separate from saving tutorials and pricing preferences.
Visitor analytics is currently disabled on this site.
We store this choice for 180 days, without an account identifier. Reopening the site does not extend it. Withdrawing removes saved progress for both editions and your saved plan currency and payment option; it does not sign you out or change store settings. Choices apply to this browser and website only.

| wakemycart.preferences.v2 · this website | Local storage of your explicit allow/refuse choice for tutorial and currency preferences. No user ID. Written only after choosing.

| Older wakemycart.setup-guide.v1.<user>.free / .pro · merchant WordPress admin | Written by the earlier tutorial only after permission.

No choice needed to browse
Optional website analytics and preference storage start off and have separate choices. You can decline analytics as easily as allowing it, browse without making a choice, or withdraw in Cookie settings. The website has no advertising or embedded third-party media trackers. Essential account security remains available regardless of your optional choices.
Page drafts and demo workspace edits stay in memory and disappear when the page session ends. We removed sidebar preference-cookie writes; an older sidebar_state cookie, if already present, expires after its original seven-day lifetime and can be removed in browser settings.
Other domains and infrastructure
WordPress and WooCommerce manage their own login, cart and checkout-session cookies on each merchant’s domain. This website’s choice cannot change those cookies or a shop’s reminder permission. Hosting and security providers may process connection information to deliver and protect this website. These services are separate from optional website analytics; see the provider register and privacy notice for available processing details and any outstanding disclosures.
Browser controls can remove site data entirely. Removing sign-in cookies signs you out; blocking optional storage does not stop the tutorial. For how personal data is processed, read the privacy notice.
