No, from my understanding cookies are allowed by default only if they are essential to the function of the site. If you only use the cookie to handle logins and sessions then you don't need the warning. I you use the cookie for tracking or analytics then you need the warning.

Note that you can use your webserver logs for analytics and that doesn't require the cookie banner.
