I have been working on a project that I need to maintain state of a navigation tree as the user navigates from page to page . The logic exists all on the client but there is no way to only store data on the client. The best I can do is set a cookie and have the client process the cookie every page load. This cookie gets transmitted to the server on every server request though.

What if you could mark a cookie as client only ? This would prevent it from being transmitted to the server and be one less thing for the server to sift through on a request. I know some of my cookies can get large with presentational data, so this would help my page loads.
