Eli5-Why do websites repeatedly ask for cookie permission?

Why if I decline cookies on a website I’ll be asked the next time I visit that website if I give permission for cookies but if I approve cookies I’m never asked again?

The fact that you declined is something that a cookie would typically be used for, so if you say no, then they are not allowed to remember that you clicked no. That’s the kind of thing that they use cookies for, saving preferences.

And they ask because EU law requires they ask.
