Alternative to TempData on redirects

Question

In old legacy project we have a lot of code like this:

var result = someService.AddRecord(data);
TempData["Success"] = result.Success;
TempData["Message"] = result.Message;
return RedirectToAction("Rakamakafo");

But then we faced the situation when requests processed serial in controller, which caused by locking nature of Session object and solved this by turning Session to read-only:

[SessionState(System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateBehavior.ReadOnly)]

It's all good except TempData object (which relies on session) stopped working.

How this can be solved in clean way without rewriting whole application to AJAX?

I guess by writing your code on base controller and then using data on all pages pages or wherever you need — Shubham, Jan 22 '19 at 07:54
@Shubham I'm doing something like this, but what to do with redirects? Now I'm investigating cookies, maybe they will help. — Troll the Legacy, Jan 22 '19 at 07:59

Done it using cookies. First, I'd created BaseController with ShowMessageAfterRedirect(bool success, string message) and set two cookies (message_success and message_caption), then in message displaying partial view I'm taking data back from cookies and deleting them.
