Yep. GitHub wrote a blog post on removing their cookie banner years ago.

>At GitHub, we want to protect developer privacy, and we find cookie banners quite irritating, so we decided to look for a solution. After a brief search, we found one: just don’t use any non-essential cookies. Pretty simple, really.

Go to that link, these are the cookies it writes (at least for me):

    * _ga
    * _gcl_au
    * octo
    * ai_session
    * cfz_adobe
    * cfz_google-analytics_v4
    * GHCC
    * kndctr_
    *_AdobeOrg_identity
    * MicrosoftApplicationsTelemtryDeviceId
    * OptanonConsent
    * zaraz-consent
Some are from github.blog, some are from the cloudflare.com hosting. Not sure how the laws apply to that. But obviously there's several analytics cookies.
