Maybe we could have a <script> tag in the <head> that modifies the relevant stylesheet rules based on cookies present.
D'oh, of course that's a better solution. And I'm supposed to be a JavaScript expert *hangs head in shame*.
This would be fairly doable but would require that determining the banner size (and whether there is a banner at all) is as lightweight as possible. Ideally this would be done without AJAX (because all banner sizes are equal, or should be) and would only rely on a cookie to determine whether banners are hidden or not.
