The GDPR does not require websites to inform users that a website sets cookies. There is nothing in the GDPR about cookies.
It's the ePrivacy Directive[0] that deals with cookies (or, rather, "[storing] information or to gain[ing] access to information stored in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user"). This is a law that pre-dates the GDPR.
If you can't get that right, frankly I question whether anything you write on the subject is correct.
