Yes they remain their state BUT sometimes Arduino likes (from experience) &
probably Raspi's give of spurious pulses on startup
which can be/needs to be prevented:

Known issue and solutions are on the internet i.e.
https://forum.arduino.cc/t/relay-turn-on-whenever-i-turn-on-arduino/644387

If the state needs to be knows between bootups, store the last setting in a
file before/after switching and if needed send the
proper setting again after bootup.  That is why I like dual coil relays ;-)
