Make sure they're dry and keep them in the fridge.

Really? O.o They won't be damaged by cold?

EDIT: I've put them in some food box and placed it on the bottom of the fridge. I guess that is the place where isn't too cold. I hope they won't get damaged or something. I was thinking of putting them in a room with no heating in a very dark cupboard, but I listened xr280xr's advice, I say how many plants xr280xr has, so I guess that advice is good

Yes, placing the seeds in the fridge is typically the best way to preserve them. As long as it is not freezing cold they should be fine, a fridge is typically just right for this.
