Using cookie/privacy policies on personal websites

Hi, I have a personal website and I am wondering if there's a need to add a privacy and cookie policy. I also want to know your suggestions or recommendations around cookie policy managers and privacy policy content. If I were to use a self hosted or public analytics solution like umami or google analytics, do I then need to add a privacy/cookie policy to my site or it's always required to do so especially because of GDPR.
