are you using a login form that is not using the
django.contrib.auth.auth_views.login view for GET?  that is, you have
a form that might be, say, part of your sidebar navigation and that
form uses that a URI like /accounts/login/ as the action of a "post"
form, which has as its view  django.contrib.auth.auth_views.login.  if
that is the case, then you would be seeing the error you described
above.  we have a couple of clients that wanted a login form on all
pages in the header.  the action of the form is /accounts/login/ and
the form would be replaced by user links like change password, update
info, etc.  the form did not work at first and we saw the same error
about cookies, which is because that view tries set a test cookie and
if the test cookie is not present, then upon POST, the form returns
the cookie error.  the only solution i found was to comment out the
test cookie portion of the django source, which IMO is not necessary
and sort of a relic from a time when folks would actually turn off
cookies for privacy reasons.
