Control animations through cookies?

Hey, everyone!

I've just watched the SVG Animation course by Guil H. and added animation to the front-page of my practice website. (http://learnedbytreehouse.com/, for @media > 75rem)

So, the question is: I want to run this animation only when the user comes to my website for the first time. Is it possible to solve this problem? Could we somehow control the CSS through the cookies?

Thx!

You need to use javascript to check for the cookie and then run the animation. Alternatively, you could also use PHP to do that as well, and add a class to the element if the cookie doe not exist.

Something like https://github.com/carhartl/jquery-cookie could help out with all of this.
