Running vBulletin version 3.0.x? Good, open your config.php file and check your cookieprefix variable. Make sure it is short, just a few letters and contains no dots, slashes, spaces or weird characters.

// Prefix that all vBulletin cookies will have
// For example
$cookieprefix = 'vbnl';

The above cookieprefix is a correct example, the below example is not correct to use

// Prefix that all vBulletin cookies will have
// For example
$cookieprefix = 'vb nl';

This one is also an incorrect example

// Prefix that all vBulletin cookies will have
// For example
$cookieprefix = '$%^45sb';

I hope you understand what I try to say: Keep it simple! The best way is to only use a to z characters.
