False. Cookies aren't there only to maliciously track your actions and show add. They solve lots of technical issues in various scenarios.

This is your typical premature compliance for a technically incompetent formalistic regulation. Better be safe than sorry - so thats why you see that stupid "this website uses cookies" on every other site that merely has a login form, a captcha, or a cdn - because of course it fucking does.
