The notice supposedly should only be shown once, but some people report to have already seen it 20 times. That means that there might be something wrong with the setting/reading of the cookie value.
Lack of attention for issues as these, causes people to add CSS to ignore ALL sitenotices ALWAYS. As such I think that any sitenotice has great responsibility to not muck it up for the rest.

I think so, yes. However, adding a [dismiss] link that hides the banner and sets the cookie should be trivial.

If that's the case, then the cookie *is* actually being remembered properly, it's just not clear how to hide the banner. You're right though, adding a dismiss link shouldn't be a problem either.
I am entirely sure this has been fixed over time. During the last fundraiser I have hidden the banner and never received it again.
