"and you want to store that more than a session" -> "...with a session cookie without needing to have a "cookie notification"". Session cookies are fine, the example was for a preference beyond the session. "Or you can just display the cookie information along with the settings it self, it doesn't actually need to be a popup." this is true, you can put the information for each cookie in every place that the UI interacts with the cookie or you can put it in a dedicated popup or however else you can figure out to do it. So long as you notify and require (informed) interaction with the associated interaction you're good.
