    This is exactly correct.

    We’ve developed a bunch of web applications for our customers, none of them do cookie-based tracking or ads, and as a result we do not need to show a banner.

    For the simple reason that (without it) we get questions about it from users, there is a little blurb on our login pages that states in broad terms; “This site does not serve up tracking cookies. We only serve cookies required to make the site work, such as keeping you logged in, or storing your preferences”.

    The advertisement industry ran an extremely effective disinformation campaign to make people think every website needed a banner, and to nag people into hating a law that works in their interest.
