If you're just interested in one checkbox AND/OR you don't want to include the jQuery cookie plugin for this, here's two lines of code:

//on page load set the checkbox to stored value or default to true
$('#turbo').prop('checked' , ( typeof sessionStorage.turbo !== 'undefined' ) ? (sessionStorage.turbo=='true') : true ); 
//when checkbox is updated, update stored value
$('#turbo').change( function() { sessionStorage.turbo = $(this).prop('checked');  }); 

This also doesn't use cookies so saves a couple bytes of bandwidth. Change to localStorage to extend lifetime of saved selection.
