Looks like you solved it, works great! Thanks Raluca :-)

Hello Ricardo and Lockie,
If you want the initial value to be collapsed, but then you want cookies
to
work, what you have to do is to add a JavaScript function that will handle
the initial cookie.
The rationale is:
1. Check if a cookie exists for the current panel, on the client side
2. If there is no such cookie, toggle panel visibility
This is the code of a panel:
##
## Get cookie
## ----------------------------------
#set($id = $util.generateRandomString(30))
#set($cookieName = "${xcontext.user}_${panel}")
#set($panelCookie = $xwiki.getUserPreferenceFromCookie($cookieName))
##
## Display panel
## ----------------------------------
#panelheader("Test")
#panelfooter
##
## If there is no cookie set for the current panel,
## toggle panel visibility (since by default the panel is expanded)
##
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#if("$!panelCookie" == '')
#end
This way, you don't need #set($expanded = 'collapsed') anymore.
I hope this helps you both,
Raluca.

But as Raluca stated in her previous message, this causes the panels to
keep collapsed because this value prevents the cookie to be created. I'm
afraid I'm still lost with this issue: I don't understand yet why
setting $expanded = 'collapsed' instead of reading its value from a
cookie prevents cookies function.
Please, Lockie, how to you get a collapsed panel at page loading time
being later on controlled by a cookie? I mean, panel A appears collapsed
when you access the site for the first time. From this moment onwards, a
cookie will remember the preferences of each visitor.
Here it is the example that is making me nuts:
http://pescaderias.org
It is a simple portal still in progress. I want that all four menus on
the right will appear collapsed the first time a visitor/users access
the site. And that the stated of each panel will be stored in a cookie
for subsequent visits.
#set($expanded = 'collapsed') allows me to show them collapsed, but
prevents cookies function. In fact cookies are never created. I think I
understood Raluca's explanation in the her previous message in this same
thread, but I'm still not able to find a solution for this issue.
Thanks!
Ricardo
#if(!$expanded)
#set($expanded = 'collapsed')
#end
Thanks I found this helpful. It means I don't have to have javascript
extensions collapsing the panels, slowing down load times. -----
