Even that becomes complicated. How do you remember that the user rejected the cookies without using cookies? By IP in a database won't work because alot of ISPs share one ip across several users. You'd have to fingerprint something like ip+user agent+anything else you can find out, store that and then you're probably breaking some other privacy laws...
