Donate cookies
 Christmas is coming, the donation drive is back. You have to put a penny in the Fou-undation's hat. If you haven't got a penny then a ha'penny will do, ...? 

I'm doing a cookie test while logged-out in a fresh temporary browser profile.

Initial load of main page sets:
 * .wikipedia.org
 * WMF-Last-Access-Global (content = (the date as a string), expiry = 1 month / 31 days, accessible to script = no)
 * GeoIP (domain = .wikipedia.org, path = /, secure same-site-only, content = AU:NSW:Sydney:-33.87:151.20:v4, expiry = session)
 * The loc is imprecise enough and Sydney has a large enough population that I don't mind disclosing that.
 * en.wikipedia.org
 * WMF-Last-Access (same settings as WMF-Last-Access-Global)
 * enwikiel-sessionId (30 days)
 * enwikimwuser-sessionId (session)
 * enwikiwmE-sessionTickLastTickTime (30 days)
 * enwikiwmE-sessionTickTickCount (30 days)

All cookies are same-site-only, with path = /

After I scroll down or navigate away to another page, I don't see an change in cookie state.

After I click Close on the second, red, banner, I get a 1-week cokie

 Christmas is coming, the donation drive is back. You have to put a penny in the Fou-undation's hat. If you haven't got a penny then donate another day, But we're asking you humb-e-ly, "please don't scroll away".  &mdash; Pelagic

More research
Aha, my suspicion was correct. The count for "Hi. This is the 3rd time we’ve interrupted your reading recently,..." is kept in LocalStorage:

Donate tea
I wanted to do this last year, wen I was pissed-off about the wording of the banners, but didn't go through because it was a big job.


 * Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1134 (160 discussions so far, 8 Dec-15 Dec)
 * Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1134 (10 Dec) - quit donating because disagree with WP political content stance
 * Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1134 - donated in Sept, being asked again
 * Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1134 (11 Dec) - registered user, already donated multiple times, apologising for not giving more
 * Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1134 (12 Dec) - donated, please stop asking (IP editor)
 * Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1134 (11 Dec) - want to cancel donation because of content
 * Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1134 (13 Dec) - repeated banners are worse than hari chrisners

I'm surprised, I expected the proportion for a December archive to be higher. (14:13 Sat 18, AEST)
