It does block most cookies, but not all!
Embedded pictures from imageshack, photobucket and probably other sites try to set a cookie.
Embedded video's from youtube or vimeo also try to set cookies.
Is there any way to fix this?

The modification is designed to prevent any of your SMF Forum's cookies being set. It is not possible to prevent third-party cookies being set since these arise out of transactions between your browser and the third-party sites concerned.
The modification is not designed to prevent third-party cookies being set, it's not possible to do that anyway.

It is possible by not showing those 3rd party elements to the guests (i.e. hide imageshack images to guests).
The function provided by the mod can be used to decide what can be presented to guests and what cannot, though it's a "problem" of the admin search where these things are presented.

Maybe a future release of the Mod could include the auto-stripping of all external URLs from pages prior to serving, if cookies haven't been accepted ;)
Johanvd:
Thanks for your answers :)
So, is it possible to hide all images that are placed with the [img]...[/img] tags?
The problem is that the Dutch cookie law does not allow sites to place any cookies without a visitor's permission. It is required that the visitor gives his/her permission by clicking on a button or a link. Simply informing a visitor that you will place cookies without giving the option to decline is not allowed.
The only exceptions are cookies that are essential for the site to function (session cookies, log in cookies, etc.)

and images. Even legit images can serve cookies.
