Cookies don't imply tracking - that is just one use of them.

The EU law on cookies is specifically about tracking cookies, not first-party cookies.

See http://ec.europa.eu/ipg/basics/legal/cookies/index_en.htm#se...

And the EU cookie consent law doesn't apply when you're using cookies for most other purposes than tracking.
