They clearly use cookies according to their website!

Well to be honest, maybe this forum is the wrong place to ask, because I assume that nobody knows that here.

Maybe you'e already accepted the cookie' popup earlier, your browser automatically accepts cookies or they (Apple) are not setting any specific cookies- as you can see there are many solutions for this question.

I suggest to contact Apple directly for such a Question.

Apple.com is a US based website and if your computer is hosted in the US Apple is not obligated to warn you about cookies.

I mean, what major website isn't using cookies these days

You should be glad the Apple web site isn’t warning you about cookies. Those warning are annoying and entirely unnecessary.

If a person doesn’t know that every web site that’s any more than terribly simple is going to be using cookies, then that person isn’t going to understand being warned about cookies either.

There are exemptions to the requirement for "cookie popups" although they are rather hand-wavy:
See: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-pecr/cookies-and-similar-technologies/#exemptions (UK Information Commisioner's office)

I'd say that Apple consider the cookies they use are essential for the provision of their service and hence fall under that clause, and I'm sure they've paid some lawyers to agree with them - when it comes to enforcing data privacy, the authorities have bigger fish to fry (some of them with Apple!) than a few edge-case cookie dialogues. We're talking Apple, here, too - compulsive secret-keepers - so I doubt that they are actually gathering data to sell to third parties.

If you're not using cookies to profile users and/or sell their data to advertisers then trying to work within the "exempt" uses is a good thing rather than helping to normalise the idea that every website you visit will require you to accept T&Cs without stopping to read them. Unfortunately, too many of the sources of information out there are from people trying to sell you "compliance solutions".

true..... However any website also related to privacy (i.e Apple), i would ague has a tendacy to use "less" cookies over the others that just 'don't care' either..

I think uBlock origin detected the most amount of harvesting/linking from Youtube.... Not surprisingly..
WHo really knows what cookies THEY use them for compared to Apple which would hve better policy becaus eof the naature they keep saying..

Same goes for privacy based websites like VPN's

I dunno if that would reflect less cookies,, but that's how i link it to. Lok at the business and if it's privacy related, then assume less cookies.
May not always be true.
