Are Plusnet's Cookies Special?

Every time I go to the PN site I am asked to confirm my cookies setting. I do it. Whatever I do - accept, change, save different settings, anything at all, next time I go to the site it asks again.
So what's up? I allow cookies. No other site acts like this. All of my cookies work just fine with dozens of other sites. Are PN's cookies some sort of special breed?

I know plusnets cookies have changed recently as I used to just save the forum cookie and that was enough.
Now I have to save the site cookie as well otherwise I get the blah blah cookie pop up when I visit the forum.
Maybe you have an old pre-change cookie messing things up (that needs deleting). Who knows.

I've only recently been posting again but must admit I'm not a fan of the 'large' cookie prompt, but know why it's there.
What I've noticed so far:
If I'm logged out and come to these forums, every page carries the cookie screen (top image)
If I'm still logged out, but go to change the settings I have some already switched off by default (lower image)
Regardless to either of the above, as soon as I log in the cookie screen goes away - even if I don't accept or change, so therefore I don't see how I can change them at any time after logging in.
Having said that, I only allow plus.net and lithium.com scripts - all others are set to not trusted (personal preference).
Here's what NoScript (note: experimental) has to say about plus.net and lithium.com (for anybody interested)
https://noscript.net/about/plus.net;plus.net
https://noscript.net/about/lithium.com;lithium.com
With reference to the cookie prompt main page, it states the following "Cookies on the Plusnet website" - I thought I'd found them, until I realised it was actually biscuit crumbs on me laptop screen!! I'll get my coat
