In your initial post it sounded like you wanted the if-branch to execute for 
a user named "nikos", but now it seems that I misunderstood you and swapping 
'mycookie.value != "nikos"' for 'mycookie.value == "nikos"' won't help. 
Maybe you could add a print statement like

print mycookie.value

to start with your debugging efforts.
