Yes, you can get and set Cookies in Apex for you Visualforce Controller.  A la:

 

public PageReference setCookies() {
		//Cookie = new Cookie(String name, String value, String path, Integer milliseconds, Boolean isHTTPSOnly)
		Cookie companyName = new Cookie('accountName','TestCo',null,315569260,false); //10 year cookie
		ApexPages.currentPage().setCookies(new Cookie[]{companyName});

		return null;
	}

	public String getCookieValue() {
		return ApexPages.currentPage().getCookies().get('accountName').getValue();
	}

 So what you need is a piece of VF which you insert where the user is going through the flow you describe.
