That is both not required. Just don't collect PII and all is good. Apple for instance manages to run a website that does not involve any stupid cookie warnings.

apple.com/shop begs to differ (and for the record, they don't have any cookie warnings, but Chrome DevTools shows me no less than 26 cookies)
