What are the current trends and best practices for implementing session-based cookie reminding and user acknowledgment in PHP websites?

Session-based cookie reminding and user acknowledgment can be implemented by setting a session variable when a user visits the website for the first time and checking for this variable on subsequent visits to display a reminder message. Additionally, a cookie can be set to remember the user's acknowledgment to prevent the reminder from showing every time they visit the site. 

<?php
session_start();

if (!isset($_SESSION['visited'])) {
    $_SESSION['visited'] = true;
    setcookie('acknowledged', 'true', time() + (86400 * 30), '/');
}

if (!isset($_COOKIE['acknowledged'])) {
    echo 'Reminder message: Please acknowledge our cookie usage.';
}
?>
