There is a <furtive whisper>javascript</furtive whisper> solution here. Just add

onload='document.cookie="name=whatever;expires=whenever";'

to your <body> tag. Actually it doesn't even need to be in the <body>, it can be run at any point in your html.

But if you sleep with the Devil, don't come crying to me when your child is born with two heads and a tail. :)
