My widgets do not seem to be updating the preference data in wookie

This is a known issue. See Issue WOOKIE-44 for more information. This problem typically occurs when using Internet Explorer (version 8 and less). It is only flagged here as a warning because depending on how the widget calls the widget javascript API, you may or may not encounter a problem. In essence there are two ways of setting a preference in your widgets javascript implementation...

(1) widget.preferences.setItem("foo", "bar");
(2) widget.preferences.foo = "bar";

If your widget has been coded to only use method (1), there should not be a problem in Internet Explorer. However if your widget implementation uses method (2) or a combination of both, then you may experience unexpected results.

If you are experiencing this problem and you are using Internet Explorer (version 8 or less), then...

(1) update the javascript code to only use method (1) above in the affected widget
OR
(2) install Internet Explorer version 9, which should resolve the problem.

Other browsers should be unaffected by this issue.
