To me, the answer to this question really lies in "what session implementation are you using?"
For me, I've opted to use a session in a database on the server, which allows me to set arbitrarily large items into the session without any real penalty. Then, for whatever you'd set a custom cookie for, I just set an attribute on request.session. Usually, this is something that would trigger some action on the next page, so in the next page when I take the action, I delete the session value just to keep things clean. If you're not using server-side sessions, then you could do the same, but remember to keep your values small. Another alternative is to register a response callback on the request (request.add_response_callback(...)) and thath method will be passed a response object that you can then call set_cookie on no matter what the actual response code is.
