You will probably need to use ajax
Give the like button a name and then in jquery make it on click event.
<button class="like">LIKE BUTTON</button>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.like').on('click',function(){
YOUR AJAX CODE HERE
})
})
In controller
GET your ajax value and insert those into a session.
I know this code is not that something you are looking for but it’s just an idea.
