I am not aware of such a way, and as I think about it, I am
pretty sure that for myself I would not want such. If I do
want to log into their web application, or not, at that time
is something I would like to decide by clicking login, or not.
For such to be useful you would really want some way to
set that for just the selected website, not a global setting.

Now, on the other hand, if this is your web application,
then there are things you could do with cookies so that you
could recognize returning visitors without routing them
through the login window.
