Cookies are loaded on page load if you have them. If you wanted to for some reason, you could also reload them arbitrarily from a button in the footer, where I've left some technical options. Included in the technical options is the ability to load panels from JSON string. Here's my dashboard!
[["stackoverflow",[],[],0],["stackoverflow",["vue"],[],1],["stackoverflow",["lua"],[],2],["gamedev",[],[],3],["softwareengineering",[],[],4]]
Hm it appears cookies are broken. They were working yesterday. I'll work on that but the site is still usable without them.
