Camilo	I'm looking to be fully compliant with GDPR but WPML is setting the cookie `wp-wpml_current_language`by default and I need it to be set only after the user accepts preference cookies through the consent management platform (CMP). How can I ensure this cookie is not automatically set before that?

Camilo	Thank you. It'd be great to have what the cookies are used described within the plugin documentation so that we can correctly describe their use on our websites.
