[This](http://stackoverflow.com/a/5122611/558018) answer might help on adding cookies to the client's cookie store. – AgentFire Aug 30 '12 at 08:40

ASP.NET Session and cookies depends on browser so when user changes the browser he will have to select language again. You may create a setting in database and allow user to select language in profile. In this case you he will not need to reselect language each time he changes a browser.
At the same time you may use cookies to store language locally so when user is not logged in language from cookies will be applied.

LocalStorage is a great place to store application settings that you'd like to persist between sessions (as opposed to sessionStorage) and not be transmitted to the server (as opposed to a cookie). Previously, to avoid having cookie based settings transmitted to the server needlessly, you'd have to use a different subdomain just for cookies.
