I agree! Do you mean to use javascript to set the cookie? Surely the
browser will still send the cookie on future requests, which will tell
Varnish not to return from the cache?

BTW I think CKAN should be configurable to not have that the 'welcome
bar' at all, solving this problem for clients that use a cache and
have no need for the welcome bar.
