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?

If you decline it doesn’t store anything about your visit – so next time it won’t remember your answer because you specifically instructed it not to remember.
They started doing this because new laws in Europe required them to ask permission before storing data on your computer. I’m not sure if a similar law exists yet on a federal level in the US, but most US-based websites just did it anyway in response to the EU regulations.
