Reviewer's Guide

Enhances CSRF token retrieval in the featured toggle AJAX call by introducing a dedicated lookup function that checks multiple cookie names and updates the request header to use this new selector.

        +initScrollPosition()
        +getCsrfToken()
        +getCookie(name)
    }
    main_js : getCsrfToken() checks ["eventyay_csrftoken", "pretalx_csrftoken", "csrftoken"]
    main_js : getCookie(name) returns cookie value
    main_js : handleFeaturedChange(element) uses getCsrfToken()
