Login is tracking, even when login is functional, not for tracking.

Laws are analyzed by lawyers and they will err on side of caution, so you end up with these notices.

Cookies and crossdomain tracking is slightly different to a login. Login would occur on one platform and would not track you when you go on to amazon or some porn site or read infowars. But crossdomain cookies do not need auth and they are everywhere because webmasters get paid for adding them, they track you everywhere.
