Stay Logged In To Website

I'll start off by saying I don't know nothin' about nothin' with regards to website coding. I was wondering if there was a way to stay logged into a website without the site taking an active part in setting a cookie. Could I modify a temporary cookie somehow? If so, is there a way I could do it for everyone that uses the site, and wants that functionality?

I'm not necessarily looking for a step by step guide, but if this idea's even plausible, could you point me in the right direction?
 
Can you elaborate what it is you don't want? Cookies are the normal way to save a person's login details for their next login. Normal cookies can usually be set without the user taking any action. The reason most sites don't do that is in case you log in from a public terminal, so that the next person can't use your login.
 
This is just for a webforum I'm a mod at, nothing where security is critical. A mod that is no longer there had something setup on a private server which would keep users logged in(via 3rd party cookie I'm guessing). The only requirements are that each user can log in with their own credentials, and they should be able to log out if desired. Otherwise, if they choose to stay logged in, they shouldn't have to log in again after using the fix. The forum software is phpBB if that's any help.
