Cookie notices are mainly for third-party tracking cookies. The EU law specifically excludes administration and security tokens required for site access.

If you link to any off-site JS you'd likely have to include the popup notice as most of those have some kind of tracking of the user. If it's all on your own site, and you have no tracking beyond your site, you shouldn't need a notice.
