Cookie Policy

Last updated: 5 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains the small number of cookies and similar technologies used by IDChecker.co.za.

What cookies we use

CookiePurposeDuration
litespeed_*Server-side page cache. Stores nothing about you — used to serve pages faster.Session / up to 30 days
woocommerce_cart_hash, woocommerce_items_in_cart, wp_woocommerce_session_*Keep your basket and checkout working when you buy a report. Set only once you add a report to your basket; they identify your basket, not you.Session / up to 48 hours
wordpress_*, wordpress_logged_in_*Only if you create an account or log in — standard WordPress session cookies.Session / up to 14 days

What we do NOT use

Browser session storage (not a cookie)

If you use the free checker and click through to order a verified report, the ID number you typed is passed to the order form using your browser's session storage. It stays on your device, is cleared as soon as the form reads it, and is never put in a web address or sent to us until you place the order.

Disabling cookies

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Disabling the LiteSpeed cookie may make pages slightly slower. Disabling the WooCommerce cookies will prevent the basket and checkout from working — the free checker is unaffected.

Updates

If we add or change the cookies we use, we'll update this page.
