Show jQuery popup only at first visit of a page

Question

I am new to jQuery, and I have some needs on my website. I want to show the jQuery div popup at the first time only when the user comes. No need to show again and again.

You can set a cookie to store a value and check if it is not set then show popup:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var isshow = $.cookie("isshow");
    if (isshow == null) {
        $.cookie("isshow", 1); // Store

        // Show popup here
        $('#jPopup').show();
    }
});

Or you can set localStorage. Here is a working example. jsFiddle

$(document).ready(function() {
    if(localStorage.getItem('popState') != 'shown') {
        $("#popup").delay(2000).fadeIn();
        localStorage.setItem('popState','shown')
    }
});
