- woocommerce_cart_hash: Helps WooCommerce determine when the cart data has changed.
- woocommerce_items_in_cart: Keeps track of the number of items in your shopping cart.
- wp_woocommerce_session_: Contains a unique code for each customer, so WooCommerce knows where to find the cart data for each customer in the database.
