I've just discovered the eu-cookie-compliance module and quite like it. What I want to know is, does the core Drupal installation use cookies for visitors to my site? I have disabled login as the site doesn't require visitors to login or register. Is it ok to tell visitors that the site uses cookies even if it doesn't use any? Should I be telling visitors about cookies? thanks

rather than answer the question directly. Let's learn a little something shall we?
logout of your site.
Clear your browsers cookies.
Open the cookie folder and navigate to your site.
Is a cookie used for that anon visit?
What would be the purpose behind doing something like that?
sort of useful
but what would be even more useful as a standard page that sites could use for their privacy policy about core cookies because even inspecting the site for cookies doesn't actually tell you about how and why they are used.

That sounds more like a feature request that can be submitted via the core issue queue. opening the cookie illustrates what the cookie is storing as well.
