How do you propose the website remembers your preference except through the use of a cookie? Cookies are the only way to keep client side state in a cross browser way. Keep in mind, cookies for non tracking purpose are allowed under the cookie law.

Only remember my preferences when I explicitly ask the site and opt-in to cookies?

  That's the reason you see cookie-banners. They are your chance to opt-in.

    Surely not, I see cookie banners at the very first chance they can throw them at me, way before I would need them for anything.

They should use localStorage. Unlike cookies, localStorage doesn't get transmitted to the server.

  Certain security policies block localStorage, though. There doesn't seem to be a perfect place to store it.
