You can leverage local/session storage of HTML5

To save a value:

localStorage.name = "Bob";

To get a value: 

alert(localStorage.name);

There are few alternatives to cookies

  1. Session (server side)

  2. If HTML5 compliant browser then you can even have client side database

Are you storing one piece of information in each cookie? Because you could use JSON serialization to store more data in each individual cookie.

The two main options are Web Storage and Web SQL Database.

You can store only one cookie representing a session ID (for example, an alfanumeric randomly generated long string). Then you just need a database to store all your data (that now is on 20 cookies) together with that session ID. At runtime, you read from the only cookie the session ID, and load from the DB all data.
