I just went to the filters page, and saved filters, went back to the home page, and the filters were not applied. I am not logged in; does it only work when you're logged in? If so, you might want to hide that link for non-logged in users.
Thanks! Yes it's actually supposed to work with cookies, but I haven't tested this properly. Will probably follow your advice and hide it for non-logged in users until I'm sure it's working correctly.
