As Chris suggested, you could use a datagroup to store the values you want to check the URI against. You'd probably want to set a variable in the request tracking whether to insert a cookie in the response this could be based on the URI and/or whether the request contains a valid cookie. You could then check that variable in HTTP_RESPONSE and use HTTP::cookie insert and HTTP::cookie encrypt to set an encrypted cookie. See the HTTP::cookie wiki page for details:
