Privacy and GDPR considerations

WoodMart includes settings and features that can support your website’s privacy work. However, installing the theme does not make a website automatically compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or other privacy laws. Compliance depends on how the website is configured, which plugins and third-party services are used, what data is collected, and the requirements that apply to the website owner.

Configure WordPress and WooCommerce privacy tools

• Use Dashboard -> Settings -> Privacy to select or create a Privacy Policy page. The generated text is a starting point and must be adapted to the actual website.
• Use Dashboard -> Tools -> Export Personal Data and Erase Personal Data to process verified privacy requests.
• Review customer account creation, data retention, erasure, and privacy notice settings in Dashboard -> WooCommerce -> Settings -> Accounts & Privacy.
• Keep WordPress, WooCommerce, WoodMart, and installed plugins up to date.

See the current WordPress privacy documentation and WooCommerce Accounts & Privacy documentation for details.

Configure the WoodMart cookie notice

Navigate to Dashboard -> Theme Settings -> General -> Cookie law info to enable the notice, customize its text, select a page with additional information, and manage the notice version.

The built-in notice displays information, links to the selected policy page, and remembers when a visitor accepts it. It does not categorize cookies or block scripts from analytics, advertising, embedded media, or other third-party services before consent. If your website requires these controls, configure a suitable consent-management solution and adjust the notice text to match how your website actually uses cookies.

Browser storage used by WoodMart

WoodMart creates browser storage only when the corresponding features are enabled or used. Some names contain a site, block, or version identifier and may therefore differ between websites.

Notices, banners, and floating blocks

• woodmart_cookies_* — remembers acceptance of the WoodMart cookie notice.
• woodmart_tb_banner_* — remembers that the header banner was closed.
• woodmart_age_verify — remembers successful age verification.
• woodmart_shown_pages — counts page views before the promo popup is displayed.
• woodmart_{block-ID}_{version} — remembers trigger states or persistent closure for a Floating Block or popup.
• woodmart_page_views_{block-ID}, woodmart_session_{block-ID}, and woodmart_sessions_{block-ID} — store page-view and session trigger progress in local or session storage.

Shop display preferences

• shop_per_page — stores the selected number of products per page.
• shop_per_row — stores the selected number of products per row.
• shop_view — stores the selected grid or list view.
• woodmart_compare_list — stores products added to Compare.
• woodmart_recently_viewed_products — stores recently viewed product IDs.

Wishlist and optional customer features

• woodmart_wishlist_products and woodmart_wishlist_count — store wishlist products and their count for guests.
• woodmart_wishlist_hash* — helps synchronize wishlist content and cached fragments.
• wishlist_cleared_time — records when a guest wishlist was cleared.
• woodmart_waitlist_unsubscribe_tokens — stores unsubscribe tokens used by the Waitlist feature for guests.
• woodmart_guest_cart and woodmart_recovered_cart — identify guest and recovered carts when Abandoned Cart is enabled.

Wishlist fragments and hashes may also be cached in local and session storage. Multisite installations can add a site-specific suffix to some storage names.

Review optional WoodMart features

Some optional features can collect or process customer email addresses, consent choices, product activity, or order-related data. Review their settings and describe enabled functionality in your Privacy Policy where applicable:

• Waitlist and Price tracker provide optional privacy-policy checkboxes for subscriptions.
• Abandoned Cart can save a guest cart and associate it with the submitted email address.
• Review reminder and Email marketing consent process customer communication or consent information when enabled.

Review third-party services

Audit all installed plugins and external services, including analytics, advertising scripts, payment gateways, contact forms, newsletter providers, maps, videos, and social media embeds. WoodMart cannot control the data collected or shared by these services.

If you use Google Fonts selected in Theme Settings, consider enabling the local loading option described in Host Google Fonts locally. Fonts selected directly in builder elements or loaded by third-party plugins must be reviewed separately.

Privacy requirements vary by website and jurisdiction. Review your complete setup and seek qualified legal advice when necessary.
