If I don't choose Allow, Allow for Session or Deny, but instead just close the dialog, is there an exception set for that site? Is a cookie stored or refused?

Looks that there are no cookies stored if you click the close X. You can verify that by clicking the website icon (favicon) on the left end of the location bar and click the More Information button to open the Security in Tools > Page Info > Security. Click the View Cookies button to see the cookies from the current domain.
