Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 6, 2026
This Cookie Policy describes the use of cookies and similar technologies on petnutritionpro.com, in accordance with Article 122 of Italian Legislative Decree No. 196/2003 and the guidelines issued by the Italian Data Protection Authority.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website may store on a user's device. They may be used to operate the website, maintain a session, remember preferences, or, where permitted, measure how website pages are used.
Cookies may be first-party cookies, when they are set directly by petnutritionpro.com, or third-party cookies, when they are set by external services.
2. Technical Cookies
Technical cookies are used exclusively to transmit a communication or provide a function expressly requested by the user. They do not require consent, but their use is described in this Policy.
| Cookie / Category | Purpose | Approximate Duration |
|---|---|---|
woocommerce_cart_hash | Manages changes to the WooCommerce shopping cart | Session |
woocommerce_items_in_cart | Manages the status of the WooCommerce shopping cart | Session |
wp_woocommerce_session_* | Associates the visitor's session with the shopping cart | Normally 48 hours |
wordpress_logged_in_*, wordpress_sec_* | Authentication of registered users and administrators | Session or authentication period |
wp-settings-* | Stores WordPress preferences for authenticated users | Up to 1 year |
| Consent management cookies | Stores the preferences selected through the cookie banner or cookie settings panel | According to the configuration of the consent management system |
| Technical security, load-balancing, or caching cookies | Security, abuse prevention, website delivery, and technical optimization | Session or the technical duration established by the relevant service |
The actual list may vary depending on the WooCommerce features in use, authentication status, and the technical configuration of the website.
2.1 Stripe and Payment-Related Cookies
The website uses Stripe to process payments.
During checkout, Stripe may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for payment processing, transaction security, authentication, and fraud prevention.
Depending on the configuration of Stripe services, cookies or technical identifiers such as __stripe_mid and __stripe_sid may be used, including for security and fraud-prevention purposes. Stripe may also use additional cookies, local storage mechanisms, and similar technologies necessary to provide and protect its payment services. The presence, duration, and function of the identifiers actually used may vary depending on the configuration and Stripe services enabled.
Tools that are strictly necessary for the security and execution of a payment are used to provide the function requested by the user. Any additional tools that are not strictly necessary are handled in accordance with applicable law and, where required, through the website's consent management system.
For more information about how Stripe processes data and uses cookies, please refer to Stripe's Privacy Policy and Cookie Settings information.
3. Analytics and Measurement Tools
Any analytics tools that do not qualify as technical cookies or equivalent technologies are activated only after the user has provided consent.
If Google Analytics or a similar service using non-technical cookies is enabled on the website, the relevant identifiers are blocked until consent is provided. For example, Google Analytics may use cookies such as _ga and _ga_*.
Updated information regarding the services actually enabled and their respective retention periods is made available through the cookie preferences panel where supported by the consent management system in use.
4. Videos and Third-Party Content
Some pages may include embedded YouTube videos. Where possible, an enhanced privacy mode is used, for example through youtube-nocookie.com.
If loading third-party content involves access to identifiers or the installation of non-technical technologies by Google or YouTube, the content is loaded only after the user has provided consent.
5. Advertising and Profiling
Petnutritionpro.com does not use its own advertising profiling cookies or remarketing tools. If such tools are introduced in the future, this Policy will be updated before their activation and consent will be requested where required by applicable law.
6. How to Manage or Withdraw Consent
When technologies requiring consent are present, users are shown a consent management system during their first visit that allows them to accept, reject, or customize non-essential categories.
Preferences may subsequently be changed by reopening the cookie settings panel using the control provided by the consent management system used on the website.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Users may also manage or delete cookies through their browser settings. Disabling technical cookies may affect login, checkout, shopping cart functionality, or other requested website features.
7. Pet Nutrition Pro on Customer Websites
The Pet Nutrition Pro plugin is not designed to install advertising profiling cookies. Any cookies present on customer websites depend on the configuration of WordPress, WooCommerce, the active theme, and other services selected by the respective website owner.
Each customer using Pet Nutrition Pro is responsible for its own Cookie Policy and for correctly configuring consent management mechanisms on its own website.
