Don't bother with cookies at all unless they serve the interests of the user. And in that rare case, only do a cookie banner if required by law, and here's how to do it: just pretend it's "fine print." Make it functionally invisible, but good enough to get away with it. Nobody will complain about your cookie banner not being annoying enough.

The EU cookie directive, at least, does _not_ require notification if the cookies are functionally necessary.
