Try simplifying the problem to determine the error point. For example don't
involve $_POST just try setting a cookie with hard coded variables. If that
works then add in the $_POST and test for BOTH $_POST['prefs'] and
$_POST['filter'].
Example of simplification:
<?php
// Send cookie
setcookie("listpref","selected",time()+7776000);
?>
