This is pretty common for programmers new to php. We'll need to see more code. Are you using echo or print before the header? Here's an article about the error.

You must not echo anything before header location

Also any characters (even null or whitespace) before the opening <?php tag can also cause this error so make sure that your <?php starts at the very first line and column of your script.

In particular check line 6 (cookies.php:6) to see what you have that outputs there.
