False, since the BGH ruling in the "Planet49" case (judgment dated May 28, 2020 - I ZR 7/16), the following applies: Cookies and comparable technologies may only be used with consent in Germany as well, regardless of the processing of personal data. This is only different if the cookies are "absolutely necessary" for the technical provision of the respective service or they serve solely to transmit a message via a public telecommunications network.

So technically necessary cookies still don't need consent.
