Can anyone help with a #cookie #privacy #security #DataMining #PayPal question?
I'm setting up print sales on my site, using WooCommerce and PayPal. PayPal sets cookies when people visit my site (not just when using checkout) but I don't want it to.
How do I block PayPal from setting cookies on visitors' devices? I'm guessing there are a few lines of code somewhere that I need to delete or comment out?
I tried using my site's cart and checkout (still hidden at the moment) with all cookies blocked in Firefox and it seemed to work fine, so it doesn't seem like this is necessary for the checkout to function, but is just PayPal being creepy.
I asked this before but didn't get an answer. I mean I just know that with all the programmers and privacy geeks here that *someone* knows the answer to this.
Searching for it keeps turning up answers about how to block cookies, but not how to keep my own site from installing them.
I'm writing my site's Privacy Policy, which is basically a screed against surveillance capitalism and why I don't track my site's visitors or customers...except for this stupid PayPal cookie 
So, ya know, it would be much easier to write if I didn't have to explain that.
Of course, if you use a card to buy something, PayPal and your CC and bank know about that part. But PayPal doesn't need to know if you were perusing other parts of my site.
