TBH, you need to put a cookie warning only if you use cookies for stuff like tracking and advertising. Logins and general site functionality are extempt from that.

Basically, cookie warning on site means the site tracks you.

I did not know this. I do not think cookie warning == site tracking. Many of those pop-ups are people thinking they need it due to the law.
