That's absolutely not the spirit of the law. I suggest you read an intro to the GDPR, or GDPR itself, which is quite approachable. In short: you shouldn't track the user, unless the user opts into it. Cookies are one of the many ways that can be used for tracking. There are other regulation pertaining to data retention, processing, etc. But since you focus on cookies, that's the gist of it. You don't have to ask permission to deposit a login cookie, since that's functional and non-tracking. Using that cookie to track across websites requires consent. Depositing a Google Analytics cookie requires consent. Any website that shows me a cookie popup screams "we want to track you! We collect data on your online behavior and sell it to third parties!"
