Carlos,

That is pretty common, nothing to worry about.  It just means the 
cookie was set with a path of '/' and possibly a partial domain 
(itesm.mx instead of physics.itesm.mx).  The cookie that it is 
complaining about is
> nivel='
Some app (hopefully not yours :-) has set a cookie with no values.  
This is not too uncommon but does violate the cookie spec / RFC.  You 
can safely ignore these log messages.
