I'm working on a site where there are two pages where a popup with a newsletter sign-up would be relevant, but if the user has already seen the popup, I don't want them to have to see it again.

So I need cookies to track this. Since nothing else would happen with the cookie, and it wouldn't involve any personal information, do I still need to include any privacy/cookie consent forms?

I'm 99.9% sure you won't need a cookie warning as it's functional and not personal in any way.

Edit: You will need to inform people about how you handle their data that they give you on sign up but that would be onpage tick box with the form, with a link to the details.

It may depend on the info your store in the cookie. If it's just yes/no type data then it's not personally identifiable data in which case you don't need consent. If you include data like an IP address then you would need to get consent.
