 * Hi,
 * A couple of questions, please:
 * 1. How to deal with cookies with names like ads_session_3562456433245345t3, where
   the number string is different for each visitor.
    I have a shopping site and 
   it seems to generate a cookie like this each month, or at least this is the coolie
   lifetime. I’d like to add it to the cookie list as necessary to make sure it 
   is allowed all the time.
 * 2. Probably related: if the site is generating a cookie that it is not listed
   in the plugin’s settings under any category, will this store and used properly,
   OR each cookie that the site uses must be registered first in the plugin?
 * 3. In the cookie category, if I add a javascript in either the head/body, it 
   is still loading regardless of the acceptance of that category. Is this normal?
   I thought it should restrict loading .js, unless I’ve misunderstood.
 * Thank you.

 * Hi [@wattaman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wattaman/),
 * Thanks for reaching out to support!
 * 1. To list out cookies with dynamic names, you may please use a wild card like
   ads_session_*. The major concern is that you should list the cookies and their
   purpose, which can be covered by doing so.
 * 2. Since our plugin manages the cookies blocking based on its script, the cookie
   listing does not directly impact this. However, to delete a cookie that is already
   set, the cookie list is used and this may not functions well in this particular
   cookie’s case.
 * 3. Please make sure that the same script is not implemented in the site by any
   other means, like through the theme or another plugin.
