Look, governments are big, really big. The department responsible for the website has absolutely nothing to do with the cookie banner law.
My website doesn't have a banner because I don't track you. That's how easy it is to not have a cookie banner.
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/679/oj/eng is the link for the GPDR. There's a cookie banner there describing how their analytics cookies will track you for 13 months, 6 months, and 365 days... along with that they may display content from "external providers, such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter".
Is this supposed to refute the comment you are replying to saying they don't track, or is it something else I don't understand? Is it just like a dunk on an eu site that tracks you?
If it's "even this eu site chooses to track you, therefore it's unreasonable for anyone to not track you" that's a weird point to make in reply to a comment explicitly showing a counter example.
