This is not related to cookies, but a bad redirect, meaning that the URL 
that XWiki generates is not good. You should:

- install Live HTTP Headers in Firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3829
- open Firefox, open Live HTTP Headers (it's in the Tools menu)
- open the XWiki site
- look in the LHH window and search for Location: lines, see what's the 
suggested location, post it here

I think that it's a bad configuration.
