Cookies in template

Question

I need to show some part of the page only once, based on cookies. The main problem that I can set cookies only in plugin, hooking init action.

I've read 20 pages of google, this site, asked 2 forums, but I still have this problem. Any help would be appreciated!

Chip Bennett is right - you can hook also via init. and can you specify exactly what is the problem of your "logic" ? I have used this method in functions.php more than once . functions.php and plugins are essentially the same, the only difference (as far as you concern) is the loading sequence . — krembo99, Dec 13 '11 at 5:19

Why do you think you can only hook into init via Plugin, rather than via the Theme?

Well, i'm not sure, that you get the idea.

I need to make some kind of a logic:

if (!isset($_COOKIE['mycookie'])
{
    echo 'Hi, anon!';
    setcookie('mycookie', 1, time()+60*60*24;
}

I can't make this functionality using plugins=(
