DHTML Ad Box

Can anyone add the ability to Matt Gabbert's GREAT!! DHTML Ad Box to work as a once per session cookie, instead of once per X amount of calls?

I attempted to contact him at the address listed on the script in the Dynamic Content section, but that email address is no longer valid.

How about this:
<html>

<head>
<title>DHTML Add Box</title>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2">
