Remembering User Settings on a Website?

[User Name]

I want the index of my website to be a splash page where the user selects the language they would like to view the website in. I want to use cookies or something so that everytime they come back to the site it remembers what they chose and automatically redirects them to the right page.

example: http://www.australia.com/

So how can I do this?

You can do that with Javascript and cookies but it will work better if you do it with server side code and cookies. What do you have available on the server if anything?

Well Javascript is easily available to develop with, however will only work with about 90% of your audience. Therefore I would be inclined to use somthing server-side to set the cookie, example: Php Cookies (http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_cookies.asp).
