 * I want to block the __wpdm_client cookie set by the [Download Manager W3 Eden](https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/download-manager/)
   plugin.
 * It’s just a session cookie, but it’s still present even if try to delete it with
   a java script code.

 * Hi [@regnalf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/regnalf/),
 * Thank you for your request. It is not a solution to delete the cookie from [Download Manager](https://wordpress.org/plugins/download-manager/)
   via JavaScript because according to our legal opinion, it must not be set in 
   the first place.
 * We have been trying to work out a privacy-compliant implementation with the plugin’s
   developer for quite some time. You can view the history of the conversation at
   [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/device-id-calculated-with-ip/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/device-id-calculated-with-ip/).
   Unfortunately, we are currently waiting for feedback from the developer.
 * As soon as an integration and a service template is implemented, we will let 
   you know here!
 * Best regards,
 * Jan
