I’m not seeing that option anywhere. Nor does it allow me to change the “weight”. I found a github discussion saying it should show up after you save the settings, but I tried that on two instances and didn’t get any unique URL.

Ah, I found it under the “cookies” tab. Needs to be more obvious IMO.
