Your current cookie_domain = http://tb-ac.org
That should be .tb-ac.org

In a previous post you mentioned trying to update from phpBB 3.28 to 3.9. Neither phpBB 3.28 nor 3.9 exists (3.2.9 does but why would you update to 3.2.9 when there's already a 3.3.7 (and a 3.3.8 on its way)
BTW
your prosilver version = 3.2.7 so it seems the update wasn't succesfull
your php version = 7.1.33 which is OK for phpBB 3.3
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Repeat: The cookie domain is showing http://tb-ac.org and it should be .tb-ac.org, note the leading dot.

See Knowledge Base - Fixing incorrect cookie settings.

You won’t be able to log in unless you fix the cookie domain. Then, once you’ve done that, try another browser.

It's still showing the wrong cookie_domain.

IIRC this link was posted a couple of posts earlier (yep, that's correct: viewtopic.php?p=15859216#p15859216)
