I save the cookie for popup with this function

_setCookie: function () {
        var expDate = new Date();

        expDate.setTime(expDate.getTime() + 3650000 * 60 * 1000);
        $.cookie('popup_cookie', 1, {
            expires: expDate
        });
    }

With if statement checking if cookie exsists and if exsists I don't show popup. I call this function when closed:function() runs or when success:function() runs I don't know you need it exactly or not, hope it ll help you.

I have another solution for your quick session cookie help: create one file in block:

app/code/local/Namespace/Module/Block/Popup.php

<?php
Class Namespace_Module_Block_Popup extends Mage_Core_Block_Template {
public function __construct() {
    parent::__construct();
    $cookie=Mage::getSingleton('core/cookie')->get("popup");        
    if (!$this->helper('customer')->isLoggedIn() && empty($cookie)){            
        $cookie_domain=Mage::getStoreConfig('web/cookie/cookie_domain');
        setcookie('wallinc','1',0,'/',$cookie_domain);
        $this->setTemplate('module/popup.phtml');
    }
  }
}

After creating this block create template in

app/design/frontend/base/default/template/module/popup.phtml

add below html code:

<div class="second-column" id="loginpage" style="display:none;">
    <div class="popoup_sidebar">

        <div class="popup_sidebar2">
           <span>Your popup</span>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

add this fancybox script:

<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready(function () {
       jQuery.fancybox("#loginpage"); 
  });
</script>
