To do that you'd need some sort of client-based script. You can do this pretty easily with JavaScript, but if script is also turned off you'll be left in the dark.
I've an article covering how to send information to the server without a page refresh here: http://www.depressedpress.com/DepressedPress/Content/ColdFusion/Essays/GIFAs Pipe/Index.cfm Leveraging the fact that a single "page" is actually made up many separate requests to the server (for graphics, scripts, style sheets, etc) and that each request can both check and set cookies you MIGHT try to do something like this: Using the technique above to create a CFM "gif" set a GIF at the top of the page that set's a cookie. Now, at the bottom of the page call another CFM gif that checks to see if the cookie is there. You may have to work out a way to ENSURE that the two requests are made in serial but in theory it should work.
