Thank you for your bug report. What do you call "cookie" exactly in that
context? You would like the system to auto validate the portals you
already visited without showing anything?

That's probably something more for the backend side, also worth reporting 
upstream who probably has more an opinion about that
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/issues

Other platforms don't do that either, do they? (e.g android). Unsure if
that would be legal to 'bypass' the portal, the user is supposed to give
his explicit consent that he's using the service

Title:
  "Network Login" browser does not remember cookies

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is with respect to the gnome-shell-portal-helper, part of the
  gnome-shell package, which opens its own browser window to prompt for
  a wifi hotspot login. It all works fine except one little papercut:

  Could it remember cookies? So when I go back to the same hotspot most
  days I don't have to click OK to accept cookies every time before I
  can actually click to go online.

  It's possible I suppose they don't all use cookies. The hotspot in
  question is a BT wifi hotspot, so probably quite common in GB anyway.

  Desired behaviour, hate to say, is like Windows: It actually
  remembered my choice from before and just logged me in right away.
