If you give the cookie a long lifespan, you won't need the extra formatting preference stuff on the end of the URL.

First, check the URL, then check the cookie, or the other way round. Unless your stylesheets are prohibitively large, I suggest you don't actually switch stylesheets. Instead, set the class of the BODY element and and add the appropriate classes to your style rules.
