Nope, a cookie can't tell if the mouse has moved, all it can determine is
that nothing had been clicked since the last reload.

To detect if the mouse moved, you would have to use something client side
like javascript to run a timer which resets on mouse actions and if it
ever times out, cause either a reload with a send to the server that the
timeout occured or a load another page.
