Python FPDF ignore Header and Footer in cover page

Question

I have created a pdf file with FPDF in python. i use a header and footer and call them with "add_page". my first page is a cover page. is there an elegant way to ignore the header in the first page?

Any help will be appreciated!

from fpdf import FPDF
class PDF(FPDF):
    # Page footer
    def footer(self):
        # Position at 1.5 cm from bottom
        self.set_y(-15)
        # Arial italic 8
        self.set_font('Arial', 'I', 8)
        # Page number
        self.cell(0, 10, 'Page ' + str(self.page_no()) + '/{nb}', 0, 0, 'C')

# Instantiation of inherited class
pdf = PDF()
pdf.alias_nb_pages()
##Page 1
pdf.add_page()

##Page 2
pdf.add_page()

pdf.output('tuto2.pdf', 'F')

You may achieve this by adding a conditional statement for the header and footer. Example of conditional footer below:

class PDF(FPDF):
    # Page footer
    def footer(self):
        # Do not print footer on first page 
        if self.page_no() != 1:
            # Position at 1.5 cm from bottom
            self.set_y(-15)
            # Arial italic 8
            self.set_font('Arial', 'I', 8)
            # Page number
            self.cell(0, 10, 'Page ' + str(self.page_no()) + '/{nb}', 0, 0, 'C')
