Just to point you in the right direction (although reading the reference 
documents _is_ necessary, too):

in vcl_recv:
(example)
if (req.request == "GET" && req.http.cookie && req.http.cookie ~ 
"<regex>") {
    [ normalize cookie for reasonable caching / reduce variations (lower 
number of objects in cache) ]
    return (lookup);
}
