My language preferences are en, de, es.
But the site gave me "Continue in" messages in the order de, en, es;
and it started me out with the de logo.

Here's the debug comments:

<!--
DEBUG OUTPUT:

Accept-Language header: "en, de;q=0.66, es;q=0.33"
Header-based languages: de, en, es

TLD: edu
TLD-based languages:

Initial selected language: de
-->

I don't know what that q stuff means.
There's no q stuff in the language options on my browser
(which is Netscape 7 for Unix, BTW).
