I took a look at this site and unfortunately the use of cookies is very ingrained into the code. Removing the requirement breaks all functionality of www.ris.ripe.net and changing the functionality would require a rewrite of the site.
Sooner or later, you'll get to a place where you consider a major update, and perhaps then you'll consider emulating NANOG's site. However... just for clarity, i believe that the issues with requiring cookies only affects www.ris.ripe.net and not the entire *.ripe.net site(s). Im not one of the developers however i believe they endeavour to keep the use of cookies to a minimum with current and future development.
I was curious, and I went to look at it. Please consider using some other color than lovely amber yellow you've chosen. It's very pretty, and exhausting to look at for any length of time. I'm a HUGE fan of gray scales, and of text. I see that you want a cookie when I want to look at one of the videos, but blocking it doesn't hurt me. Here's where you did something right. The video plays on my (pretty old) Firefox, which has no Flash (hooray!).
The cookie stays around for a YEAR (if I let it), and has the following stuff:
Name: stat-csrftoken Content: 7f12a95b8e274ab940287407a14fc348 Host: stat.ripe.net Path: / Send For: Any type of connection Expires: Wednesday, January 15, 2014 11:29:34 AM
To your credit, you only ask once, but you ought to ask zero times.
The site's not bad, but please consider changing the yellow to black. Less beauty, more utility.
Thank you for this feedback, i'll pass it onto to the developers. Regards John
