JQuery switches with cookies: how to get a collapsed state by default and remain accessible?

I am a total beginner, so excuse my inability to see an obvious solution (if there is one). That said, I have scoured the interweb for an answer to this and have only run into the same question. What I've got working so far: using what I found at http://www.tobypitman.com/multiple-collapsable-panels-with-cookies/, I've managed to get multiple containers to toggle between display:block and display:none, and I'm setting cookies with Klaus Hartl's cookie.js.

Everything works terrifically! Except that I want the toggle containers' initial state to be closed. I'd really like to accomplish this without having any display:none directly in the CSS, so the content remains accessible with JS off. I'm not a programmer, and my brute force method of changing things here and there until something happens is not quite cutting it. I've included the HTML, CSS and jQuery all below - the only thing that will be missing from my example is the CSS image sprite for the <h6> that serves as the trigger.

    Toggle with cookie

<style>
    .toggle-wrapper {
        overflow:hidden;
        display:block;
    }

    .toggle-wrapper .toggle-container {
        position:relative;
        overflow: hidden;
    }

    .toggle-wrapper h6.trigger {
        background: transparent url(images/trigger-sprite.png) no-repeat left top;/*sprite is 15x30px - plus sign on top, minus on bottom*/
        height: 15px;/*half of sprite's height*/
        cursor:pointer;
        padding:0 0 0 16px;
        margin:0;
    }

    .toggle-wrapper h6.active {
        background-position: left bottom;/*this is the open state, showing the minus sign part of sprite*/
        padding:0 0 0 16px;
    }
</style>

To create a closed default state, just make the toggle-container depend on another cookie called let's say 'open'. If there is no cookie 'open + c' the container is hidden as well.

if ( cvalue == 'closed' + c || cvalue != 'open' + c ){
  //hide()etc...
}

Now don't make the toggle function remove the panel cookie on slideDown, but set the panel cookie with value 'open + num'.

var cookieValue = 'open' + num; 

$.cookie(cookieName, cookieValue, { path: '/', expires: 10 });

After setting the open cookie the script works like it did before. Here is the whole thing with different class names but that should not be a problem.

$(document).ready(function(){

// Toggle sliding containers with cookies
$("div.toggle_widget h2.toggle_trigger").addClass("active");

var l = $('div.toggle_widget h2.toggle_trigger').length;

var panel = $("div.toggle_widget div.toggle_container");

for (c=0;c<=l;c++){

   var cvalue = $.cookie('panel' + c);

   if ( cvalue == 'closed' + c || cvalue != 'open' + c ) {

        $(panel).eq(c).css({display:"none"});
        $(panel).eq(c).prev().removeClass('active').addClass('inactive');
   };
};

$("div.toggle_widget h2.toggle_trigger.active").toggle(
      function () {
            var num = $("div.toggle_widget h2.toggle_trigger").index(this);
            var cookieName = 'panel' + num;
            var cookieValue = 'closed' + num;
        $(this).next("div.toggle_container").slideUp(250);
        $(this).removeClass('active');
            $.cookie(cookieName, cookieValue, { path: '/', expires: 10 });  

      },
      function () {
            var num = $("div.toggle_widget h2.toggle_trigger").index(this);
            var cookieName = 'panel' + num;
            var cookieValue = 'open' + num;
            $(this).next("div.toggle_container").slideDown(250);
            $(this).addClass("active");
        $.cookie(cookieName, cookieValue, { path: '/', expires: 10 });
      }
    );

$("div.toggle_widget h2.toggle_trigger.inactive").toggle(
      function () {
            var num = $("div.toggle_widget h2.toggle_trigger").index(this);
            var cookieName = 'panel' + num;
            var cookieValue = 'open' + num;
            $(this).next("div.toggle_container").slideDown(250);
            $(this).addClass("active");
            $(this).removeClass('inactive');
        $.cookie(cookieName, cookieValue, { path: '/', expires: 10 });

      },
      function () {
            var num = $("div.toggle_widget h2.toggle_trigger").index(this);
            var cookieName = 'panel' + num;
            var cookieValue = 'closed' + num;
        $(this).next("div.toggle_container").slideUp(250);
        $(this).removeClass('active');
            $.cookie(cookieName, cookieValue, { path: '/', expires: 10 });
      }
    );
});
