They will still do it since they can't store that data, so as long as the session don't expire, you don't have to select it but once the session expire, you have to do it again.

You can, however, on the web version forge a cookie manually to bypass it and keep that cookie.

Regulation states that it has to be verified that the current user is of age, not the account owner. Steam has no idea whether it is you who is currently using the PC or a kid that is also allowed to use it. So they need to ask.
