You could consider using a session manager, and only store an id in the
cookie.
Otherwise, look at how the dtml tree tag achieves what you describe. You
have to be a bit careful that you only serialize pure data and not
pickled objects into your cookie, otherwise you're opening up a huge
security hole.
Look at the source in lib/python/TreeDisplay/TreeTag.py, around line
578, in the methods encode_seq and decode_seq.
