No, the requirement is for "informed consent". The ICO is clear that 
"Implied consent is a valid form of consent and can be used in the 
context of compliance with the revised rules on cookies." Explicit 
consent (asking an explicit question in which the user can decline to 
have cookies set) is about whether a cookie is "intrusive" or not - 
aimed mainly at third-party tracking cookies.
