When we load cookies (or even receiver over the wire) we just bump a counter and store that for each cookie and thus we will always know which is the oldest and which is newer, without actually storing the info in the file - as we don't need the exact number!

Yes, this would also work and would probably be the simplest and least intrusive solution.
