Thanks...now can you explain how I could put that into practise...I wouldn't normally ask but it's 2am, I'm bored and I don't understand it. I mean, I do, but not enough to be able to use it, you know?

Like, how do I refer to or use the information stored in the cookie once it has been retrieved?

// Use this function to retrieve a cookie.
function getCookie(name){
var cname = name + "=";
var dc = document.cookie;
if (dc.length > 0) {
begin = dc.indexOf(cname);
if (begin != -1) {
begin += cname.length;
end = dc.indexOf(";", begin);
if (end == -1) end = dc.length;
return unescape(dc.substring(begin, end));
}
}
return null;
}

// An adaptation of Dorcht's function for setting a cookie.
function setCookie(name, value, expires, path, domain, secure) {
document.cookie = name + "=" + escape(value) +
((expires == null) ? "" : "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString()) +
((path == null) ? "" : "; path=" + path) +
((domain == null) ? "" : "; domain=" + domain) +
((secure == null) ? "" : "; secure");
}

Hope this helps, to delete a cookie, set the time to a time that is before the time that it is set.
