They still have to inform you, right? Like with some banner at the edge of the page telling that they use cookies, just no need for a popup asking you to accept or decline.

No it’s only for tracking cookies. If you just have cookies for login, for example, then there’s no need to ask permission

And what tells you is how fucked the internet is since almost every single webpage asks to use tracking cookies.

There is also the problem of sites without tracking cookies having banners just to be on the safe side.
