[Zope] newbie Cookies vs something

[Coleman, Bryan]

Ok this is not really a zope issue persay but I am having difficulty with
persistent data. I want to be able to use variable across pages but it seems
like the only way I can do that is to use forms. But of course the variable
dissipates after it is used. 

How can I keep persistent data. I have never used cookies and can't see how
to integrate the cookie back into zope even if I do use it. Any and all help
would be greatly appreciated.
