Yes, that's fine and dandy, just two cautions I would mention:

- (To be safe) assume a limit of 1K on the amount of data you can store in a
cookie.  (If it is more data than that, sure you can then start using multiple
cookies, but it eventually gets cumbersome: for more data or for more complex
scenarios, you better go with "local storage".  Anyway, most probably not your
case here.)

- I would suggest you keep this functionality at the bottom of the TODO list:
first get a working product, the core functionality, then do as much (more!)
clean-up and rationalisation as you can (being careful not to get into unneeded
generalisation and/or optimisation), finally implement any "accessories"...

HTH,

Julio
