title: Storing compressed data in a cookie
body: <p>What's the best way to store compressed data in a cookie?  The reasons I want to do this are:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I want to store as much data as possible in 1 cookie</li>
  <li>I want performance to be as fast as possible in terms of data transfer</li>
  <li>I don't want it to be so obvious what I'm storing exactly to prevent easy tampering</li>
  <li>There are many values, hopefully the best mechanism to do this allows for easy retrieval</li>
  </ol>
