Solution 1:

You could use HTML 5 Local Storage. It's what the Stack Exchange network uses for global authentication. It's supported only by modern browsers but you could always gracefully fallback to cookies if not supported (IE8+, Chrome, Safari, FireFox 3.6+, and Opera 10.61+ are all supported).

Solution 2:

You can use the "normal" js cookie method: http://de.selfhtml.org/javascript/objekte/document.htm#cookie or if you want to use a lib jquery with cookie plugin: http://www.electrictoolbox.com/jquery-cookies/

Solution 3:

If you are talking about database type storage there is google gears and adobe air. These are basically browser plugins that allow you to store data locally on the client. Google have deprecated google gears in favour of the new HTML 5 local storage.
