Don't use cookies, because they add unnecessary overhead to your page requests.

Use localStorage instead (compatibility table (polyfills)):

var countdowntimervalue = 100;                            // Some variable
localStorage.setItem('timer_value', countdowntimervalue); // <-- Set the value

To get the value at a later point use:

var saved_value = localStorage.getItem('timer_value');

Use a cookie to set a timestamp, and then reference the timestamp in future page loads.
