Cookies.Remove("ShowHistoryCookie");

One sensible thing to do in situations like this, is to define "ShowHistoryCookie' as a const string, and use that variable everywhere, so you never have to track down a typo anywhere and can easily change the value if you want to.

I'm sorry, I was trying to point out why your code is nasty and hard to read. Your question involved a ton of code, which was hard to read, and no comments on what you see when you debug the code, so I didn't really take the time to try to decipher it.
