The European Commission's own announcement of the fine against Apple has a cookie banner:

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_24_...

"This site uses cookies to offer you a better browsing experience."

Which of course is total crap. There's no better experience, only a worse experience with the banner.

Because they should clarify for every web dev that technical relevant cookies that do not track the user with third parties are not requiring a banner.

It uses the same cookies as most official EU website. You can check why there: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/content/legal-notice/legal-notice....

They seems to use this https://piwik.pro/, which as far as i read seems ok (i did not audit the code personally), i think this data might be legit useful for UX (im really shit a UX, you should ask people working on it though).
