JavaScripts may effect any page whose URL shares the same domain, in essence. So a JavaScript on a site page could detect whether a page has been previously loaded and close it. I would say that it is unlikely a cookie issue as the JavaScript approach is easier and less error prone.

You may also want to consider *why* the site is doing this. They may be using window names or id's that must be unique for the site to function properly, and circumventing it could cause unexpected issues.
