I don't get it, how do users login to the websites (like gmail) without using cookies ? Does this legislation target only permanent cookies that stay even after the user has logged out ?

According to the ICO report on the legislation I linked to, use of cookies needed to provide the user with a service they have requested is explicitly permitted. Likewise, if your use of the cookie does not violate privacy (i.e., you don't build up a user profile), it is OK.

That would most probably come under "strictly necessary".
