Apparently the eu official website really needs to track you then. For what’s essentially just static content. I’ll consider dropping cookies banner when their website can work without. Stop the “do as I say not as I do”
EU official website in it’s cookie banner glory: https://european-union.europa.eu/index_fr
They apparently hired incapable people to build that. Very silly to build it in a way that kind runs contrary to what the intentions of the very laws they are making are.
I get similarly upset, when I see Google tracking on official websites of government or public institutions.

No, they don't really need to track you, that's why it requires consent to do it.
They are doing exactly what they say.
In other words, they're not saying don't track your visitors. They're saying get consent first.
You could try to understand why that’s the case, instead of assuming maliciousness or incompetence.

they use third party cookies, just read their linked info on it and it's fairly clear why they have a banner
if they didn't use third party cookies they wouldn't need it
