Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. The Kiddie Depot uses them on thekiddiedepot.co.za to keep your cart, checkout and account working and, if you agree, to see how visitors use the website. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect your personal information.
Your choice
The first time you visit, a notice at the bottom of the screen asks whether we may use analytics cookies. Tap Accept to allow them, or No thanks to say no. The website works the same either way. We remember your choice for 6 months. To change it, tap Cookie preferences at the bottom of any page.
Cookies the website needs
We set these cookies to run the cart, checkout and your account, and to protect the website. The website can’t work without them, so the notice doesn’t ask about them.
| Cookie | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| woocommerce_cart_hash and woocommerce_items_in_cart | Remember what is in your cart | Until you close your browser |
| wp_woocommerce_session_ | Keeps your cart and checkout details as you move between pages | 2 days |
| wordpress_logged_in_ and wordpress_sec_ | Keep you logged in to your account | Until you close your browser, or 14 days if you tick Remember me |
| wordpress_test_cookie | Checks that your browser accepts cookies when you log in | Until you close your browser |
| wfwaf-authcookie- | Lets Wordfence, our security service, recognise logged-in users so it can block attacks on the website | 12 hours |
| kd_consent | Remembers whether you tapped Accept or No thanks | 6 months |
Cookies that remember your choices
| Cookie | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| kd_cols | Remembers how many products per row you chose in the shop | 1 year |
Analytics cookies
Google Analytics sets these cookies only after you tap Accept. They show us which pages people visit, how they found the website and how long they stay, so we can make the website better. Google Analytics doesn’t tell us who you are. Google stores this information on its own servers, some of them outside South Africa.
| Cookie | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Tells one visitor apart from another | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_4VFGMCB7RX | Keeps track of your visit | Up to 2 years |
We don’t use cookies for advertising.
Payment pages
When you pay with Payfast or Zapper, you leave our website for their secure payment page. Payfast and Zapper set their own cookies there, under their own privacy policies.
Blocking cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the cookies the website needs, the cart, checkout and login won’t work.
Changes to this policy
We update this policy when the cookies on our website change. The date at the top of this page shows the last update.
