Second thoughts:

Could it be decentralized further (in the pursuit of privacy) to
enable sites using this widget to communicate with you to establish
the initial state? For example, first my site checks with the user to
see if they've been here before; *then*, if not, it asks your site
"Who is this?". Maybe a couple of different cookies (but I assume
here, that this is how you're keeping track of state), one just for
you (holding whatever you need it to) and one that can be shared with
anyone using the widget?
