If you're reluctant to use cookies, why not have a URL that can include lat
and lon? Users could (optionally) create the URL for their own location and
then make a bookmark. Afterwards the browser brings them to their own ubisol
data just from using the bookmark. For example:

http://www.relojesdesol.org/UbiSolENG.html?+44.5,+63.5

The webserver ignores the part it doesn't know about, but you can still get
at it from javascript. The relevant property is    window.location.search
which gives the string:

?+44.5,+63.5

which you can easily manipulate for processing as numbers.
