PDF Viewer for Elementor places a cookie prior consent

PDF Viewer for Elementor places a pdfjs.history cookie, which is hard if not possible to block by GDPR consent manager plugins. I’m hosting the plugin locally. It is installed. Yet, nor did I ask for this cookie to be placed, nor can I delete this cookie. Even though it is local. I can’t use it. Image from cookiebot.com scan on Google Images.

Cookie purpose description: Remembers which and how many PDF-documents have been downloaded or read by the user. This is used for internal statistics.

Point is, I do not even have access to such statistics. Do the plugin author(s) gather statistics?

This is only one link, but I have +30, maybe even more places with embedded PDFs. Can someone explain how to exclude this cookie or block it prior to user consent? An external data protection officer informed me I cannot have this cookie.

I have checked. I do not have other PDF viewer plugins. If this cannot be fixed, I would need to uninstall the plugin since this is not GDPR-compliant = fines and penalties.
