Help Understanding Cookies

You could use the cookie helper set_cookie() and get_cookie() functions. Example:

Code:

$this->load->helper('cookie');
set_cookie(array(
   'name'   => 'settings',
   'value'  => serialize($settings),
   'expire' => 86500,
   'domain' => '.mydomain.com',
   'path'   => '/'
));

// Load the settings
$settings = get_cookie('settings', TRUE);
if ($settings !== FALSE)
{
    $settings = unserialize($settings);
}
else
{
    // Use default settings
}

But an even easier option would be to use the Session Library
