I don't understand this warning.  The Cookie information that the
server is trying to set looks valid to me.  Perhaps you should ask the
Opera people.

You could make sure that you have the following options in the
OnlineOptions section of the configuration file.

<http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/*> request-changed = 0
<http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/*> request-changed-once = no
<http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/*> request-expired = yes
<http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/*> request-no-cache = yes
<http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/*> request-redirection = yes

It will mean that the pages on this server are downloaded more
frequently than they might need to be.  You might not need all of
these options, you should try and experiment if you are keen to reduce
bandwidth and page loading time.

You could also try and make these options more specific, for example
putting the following option will only re-request GIFs after 10
minutes.

<http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/*.gif> request-changed = 10m

You would need to put this before the other options since it is more
specific.
