    log_format  cookie  '$remote_addr - $remote_user '
                        '[$time_local] "$request" $status $bytes_sent '
                        '"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent" '
                        '"$http_cookie" "$server_name"'
                ;

Some comments:

*) you could not name your format "combined" because there's already
   predefined "combined" format compatible with Apache's one.

*) there's no %l in nginx: it useless in modern Internet and Apache
   disables it by default: "IdentityCheck off".
