Suppose there is page which asks user for his/her name,age etc. and save it into cookies. Now user is navigating on your website and in between he/she deleted all the cookies and then navigates to the other page which uses these cookies. According to me the next page will get blank values right? How to handle this drawback? I don't want user to fill those details again.

If you don't want the users to fill in the details again then tell your users to stop deleting cookies. They shouldn't be surprised that they have to enter the information again if they deleted the cookies.

However, to be truly persistent don't use the cookies at all. Store the information in the database.
