Most likely your host has mod_security enabled on the server
for some strange reason mod_security has a stupid rule to block filenames containing the word cookie
Either (a) contact your host and ask them to disable/remove mod_security
or (b) rename catalog/view/javascript/jquery/ui/external/jquery.cookie.js to remove the word cookie
You will also need to edit catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/header.tpl and change the link to the above file to reflect your newly renamed file.
