Save pagination with cookies

I am trying to set up a scenario where a user can go to some page on a DataTable after page 1 and when they then go to a new page and the same DataTable appears it will remember what page they had been on before. Setting "bStateSave" to "true" doesn't seem to do that. I am using the jQuery cookie plugin for some other things on this project so perhaps somebody knows a way for me to combine the two?

I'll try to post an example at DataTables Live if anyone deems it necessary but the code on this project is all over the place in many different files.
