WPDM Download Manager Cookies, Cookie Policy & Privacy

Hi, I am looking for additional information relating to the cookies used by wpdm, to include on my own company’s website cookie and privacy policy pages.

FYI, I am using the Complianz WordPress plugin to manage cookie consent. It scans all cookies used being used, and cross-references them with the cookiedatabase.org database to indicate the service (e.g. WordPress Download Manager), Expiration, Cookie Function, Purpose, and whether the cookie stores personal data. The issue is that the “__wpdm_*” cookies ar not recognized by Complianz:

__wpdm_client
__wpdm_am_cp
__wpdm_fm_move
__wpdm_fm_copy

Complianz uses https://cookiedatabase.org/ to audit cookies. I have checked their website directly, and it doesn’t recognize the above cookie names. As a result, the wpdm cookies / service are listed as being subject to investigation. Doesn’t look good.

The workaround is to add the required information manually to the Complianz plugin. For me to do this, however, I will need the following information

For each cookie used/generated by wpdm:

– Expiration (e.g. session, x days, persistent)
– Cookie function (e.g. function for “wordpress_logged_in*” is “Store logged in users”
– Purpose (e.g. functional, statistics, statistics[anonymous], preferences, marketing/tracking)
– Is personal data stored (yes or no)?

Also, for the WordPress Download Manager Service, three things are needed:

– Service Type (e.g. Content Management)
– Is data shared with WPDM service provider and/or other 3rd parties (yes or no)?
– Privacy Statement URL (fyi https://w3eden.com/privacy-policy.html is currently broken)

Could you please provide this information, so I can put this compliance issue to rest.

Many Thank.

Thank you for the quick suggestion. Much appreciated, but I had already checked your cookie policy page, and it does not address the issue. Also, the privacy policy blog you referred to is more of an introduction to privacy policy pages for WordPress rather than what I was asking for, and it is not really a substitute for a privacy statement from W3eden. My request for information was quite specific.

My hope is that this information is available, so that fully (not partial) transparency can be established.

Is there somebody on your side that can speak to the issue of w3eden privacy policy, and in a position to provide more detailed information on cookies?

Many Thanks.
