That is up to your browser on your computer. The website asks your browser to store cookies on your computer (generally small pieces of information what you did on the website, including “what did the user click last time when we showed this cookie banner”). The browser can simply not do that, or it can delete the cookies as soon as you leave the site or restart your browser, or keep them – all that is configurable.
