Comment (by Clorith):

 If the check isn't done till after (I thought we did it earlier, so my
 apologies if that's not the case), we could just redo the logic to logging
 in, and if `is_user_logged_in` says "no" when a valid login is provided,
 we know the cookie isn't setting and can act accordingly.

 Adding checkboxes to declare cookie consent on login pages adds complexity
 for the end user, and isn't required from my understanding, because it's
 implied that there exists an item to maintain your login session in such a
 scenario.
