Right now, the copyright message ("By clicking "save", you agree to the terms of use...") uses a cookie ("wikibase.acknowledgedentitycopyright") if you choose to remember the agreement.
A user preference would be an improvement, so it wouldn't be an annoyance for people with multiple computers or browsers, or who clear cookies occasionally.
Preferences can be hidden, and with the userjs- prefix, it is always hidden by default. See [[mw:API:Options]]. But I think the same thing can also be done with a full preference and $wgHiddenPrefs.
