because these are not cookies, right?

No, because they are functional cookies, you don't need to ask for permission of those. I'm also deriving that you might be conflating the two things. JWT and cookies are two different things, but you can store JWTs in a cookie.
The law has never been about cookies themself but about tracking user and asking their consent for selling/sharing their identifying data for things unrelated to the displayed purpose of the site.
It is, in the minds of many.

And FYI it is not even a law.
