Hi,
I am currently doing an audit on all my sites for GDPR Compliance. I have discovered this plugin sets a PHP Session Cookie on page load. Can you tell me what data this stores and whether it would require a cookie notice to make the site GDPR compliant or alternatively can it be disabled?.
Thank you.
Hi,
As many features work with the cookie data like download count, authorization for any package download. But there also an option that store IP address and user data.
You have to comment out the following line from libs/class.DownloadStats.php line 17.
$wpdb->insert("{$wpdb->prefix}ahm_download_stats",array('pid'►(int)$pid, 'uid'►(int)$uid,'oid'►$oid, 'year'► date("Y"), 'month'► date("m"), 'day'► date("d"), 'timestamp'► time(),'ip'►"$ip"));
It will stop saving data of users.
Thanks
Hi,
Will commenting out this line still enable me to record download counts?. Also, won’t this customization get overwritten when I update the plugin?
Please install the latest version of Download Manager. We have added the option to disable IP logging.
Hi,
I’ve got the same problem. But if I check the “Do not store visitor’s IP” option. The site still sets the cookie. When I deactivate the PlugIn the cookie is not set.
Regards
Kai
