How do you remember the user has opted out of cookies without storing a cookie?

Does anyone have an example of a site with a clear opt-in/out? I'm curious about what's actually stored on my machine in each case. And of course it's not really what's stored locally that's the issue: it's what is stored on their server.

Opting out of tracking is not the same as opting out of cookies. Per the GDPR a site is still allowed to set any cookies required for the site to work, including a "tracking consent cookie".
