As a matter of fact I was just playing with this
myself for learning purposes. Check out 

    "Javascript:  The Definitive Guide"  (O'Reilly) 
and 
    http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/.

I wrote a little cookie-setting and -retrieving
Javascript exercise, which you're welcome to examine
at http://panix.com/~dmintz/ if you're interested.

Mine displays a popup that has a checkbox to set a
cookie that means ok, I've seen this before and don't
want to see it again. It seems it would be pretty
straightforward to use cookies to set your form field
values.
