  Because American websites often don't bother with preemptive GDPR compliance, and DPAs consider first-party cookies of small websites to be a pretty low enforcement priority. My browser shows four persistent cookies, one for news.ycombinator.com and three for .ycombinator.com, that definitely require GDPR consent. In particular note that merely keeping you logged in across browser sessions requires a cookie banner, because that persistence is not strictly essential to the site's functionality; the official GDPR explainer (https://gdpr.eu/cookies/ https://gdpr.eu/cookies/) calls this a "preferences cookie".
