A lot of people have the misconception that the EU cookie law applies to all cookies, but as the blog post correctly points out, that just isn't the case.

Have they found some alternative to cookies?

No, they just don't use any non-essential cookies.

And, in a way, this is the standard by the fact that they are not required to show the banner if no non-essential cookies are being used :)

If they've gotten rid of 3rd party analytics, does this mean they're just using their own? Presumably session cookies count as "required", and could be used to track your actions at least on github.com.
