Always skip Intro page?

[TorQueMoD]

Hi everyone!

I'm designing a website that requires an introduction page for new visitors, but I'd like to give the option to always skip the intro page after you've seen it once. I've never used cookies though I'm sure its the only way to do this.
Any ideas?

The intro page itself is plain html. Its not a flash intro or anything.

Thanks!

Thanks for the links. Hopefully I should be able to figure everything out from there. If not, I'll let you know.
