Cart Number Changing from 1 to 0 When Exiting Cart

I really need some help with a cart number error.

I have attached a screen recording video of my problem. On my site, when you add a product to the cart, the cart shows 1 (which is good), then when you click into the cart, the product shows and the cart still shows 1 (also good). But when you click out of the cart, the cart number reverts back to 0 (not good). When you click back into the cart, the product is still there and the cart number shows 1 again (correctly).

I have contacted Squarespace support about this and they identified for me that my Cookie Control banner seems to be causing the conflict. I added my Cookie Control banner by through the Code Injection feature using the script for it produced by Cookie Control from Civic, who produce the Cookie Control feature.

I'd like to keep this Cookie Control feature, but I need my cart to work correctly.

Can somebody advise on some code I can add in order to make the cart work correctly please? The help would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks,
Pawel

You shouldn't need code. This issue is occuring because your third party cookie management solution appears to be blocking one or more of the Squarespace cookies that are 'essential' for the cart. These include 'CART' and 'hasCart'. When you've configured your cookie software so that it does not block these, you should be able to test it successfully 🙂.

@paul2009 Thank you so much!! Your advice directed me in the right direction for honing in on this issue. Lo and behold, I've adjusted the configuration in the code for the Cookie Control feature so that the CART and hasCart cookies are protected and the cart works now!

 @creedon Thanks for responding. Apologies. My site is live and the address is www.football-infographics.com. The issue is resolved thanks to Paul's guidance.
