In general, no. You can not extract such information from a browser 
or the computer it's running on.

Cookies are intended to allow a server to know things like the 
page(s) you visited. Or it can be used to track progress of a 
multi-panel transaction, like a customer satisfaction survey, or 
something.

Implement a "Guestbook."
