basic cookie question

    We're displaying a popup every thirty days via a cookie.

    The particular js script we're using is folder-specific.

    For example:
    1. Visitor displays the home page-- the popup launches.
    2. Visitor displays the home page again -- popup will not launch again for 30 days.

    3. Visitor displays a page located in a sub-folder-- the popup launches.
    4. Visitor displays a page located in a sub-folder again--popup will not launch again for 30 days.

    and so on...

    QUESTION
    Is the above "default" behavior for a cookie?

    WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS THIS
    Regardless of what page a visitor displays, we want the the popup to ONLY
    launch a total of one time every thirty days.

    Is that possible? Thanks.

    Hmm surely you only need to issue one cookie then?

    Whenever a user accesses a page in any folder, check that one cookie for the date, and if the date is now, show the popup, and set the cookie's date to now+30 days?
