I've occasionally had things like this in the past. Essentially, in
pseudocode, the logic goes:
If user has no promo cookie
- set promo cookie
- do popup
That way, if they've seen it at all, whether or not they took it, it
doesn't pop up again. After your promotion is over, you can either just
remove that code, so that no new cookies are set, and the old ones remain
in place, or you can be nice and drop in some code that deletes existing
cookies as well.
