Is there any way to detect if current page came from back button?

I want to load data from cookie only if current page came from back button.

Use pageshow event to detect back or forward buttons:

$(window).bind("pageshow", function(event) {
    if (event.originalEvent.persisted) {
        Alert("User clicked on back button!");
    }
});
