The help text for 'Whitelisted cookies' config field reads: "this module will prevent cookies that are not on the whitelist from being stored in the browser when consent isn't given." This is not true. Cookies can still be set by the system, modules, custom code, symfony, etc. EU Cookie Compliance attempts to remove cookies in a users' browser after they have been set and after the page has loaded. It is not the same thing as prevention or blocking. Just for the sake of clarity, this language should be changed.

It also conflicts with language in the readme and help section: "NOTICE: The module does not audit your cookies nor does it prevent cookies from being set."

You're right about that. Sometimes it's a bit hard to get the proper message across when you're not a native English speaker.

I've adjusted the text for the field, and also removed the NOTICE from the read me.

Patches attached.
