VisitorCookie lets you create a custom page for first-time visitors. The first time a viewer visits the page or performs a specific mouse event, this action creates a cookie. The cookie is stored on the viewer's computer if they have not set up their browser to deny cookies. On subsequent visits or mouse events, the viewer is redirected to a different page. For example, you might want first-time visitors to go to a special page with a "Welcome" message, but to the main page on subsequent visits.
