Server Error in '/' Application.
A potentially dangerous Request.Cookies value was detected from the client
(referrer="...teid=4&dw-ontid=20&dw-ptid=312...").
Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous client
input value, and processing of the request has been aborted. This value may
indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your application, such as
a cross-site scripting attack. You can disable request validation by setting
validateRequest=false in the Page directive or in the configuration section.
However, it is strongly recommended that your application explicitly check
all inputs in this case.
Exception Details: System.Web.HttpRequestValidationException: A potentially
dangerous Request.Cookies value was detected from the client
(referrer="...teid=4&dw-ontid=20&dw-ptid=312...").
Source Error:

What should I think of the warning message? What does it mean? (sorry, I'm
not a cookies expert) Is there any real danger?
