You can have a relationship with anyone you want; there are many different kinds of relationships. Society generally encourages everyone to have good relationships with their relatives, including cousins.
Sexual relationships with very close relatives are frowned upon and sometimes illegal. If either participant in a sexual relationship is under the age of consent, then a sexual relationship is illegal, regardless of how they are related.
There are also many different kinds of cousins. There are first cousins, second cousins, third cousins, and so forth. There are first cousins once removed, twice removed, ten times removed and so forth.
A cousin is someone who is descended from one of your direct ancestor's siblings. Marriage between first cousins is accepted in some, but not all, societies, and is legal in about half the states of the United States. Marriage between second cousins is legal throughout the US and in many other countries.
The term "half-cousin" is poorly defined and rarely used by those who study relationships (genealogists and others). It presumably means a person who is descended from a half-sibling of some ancestor.
A half-first cousin would then be a more distant relative than a first cousin but a closer relative than a second cousin - perhaps about as closely related as a first cousin, once removed. Many communities would find a marriage between such people to be acceptable, but some would not. You must review local laws, talk to your local community or religious leaders, or even to your relatives about this question.
Note that sexual relations between cousins, even when otherwise forbidden by law or custom, is not incest. Incest is limited to sexual relations between siblings, parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, or aunts/uncles and nieces/nephews. However, some religions use a wider definition.

What is relationship of your kids to your half cousin?
There is no relationship in the English language that is called a "half cousin." Everyone who is your cousin is related to you through one and only one parent, so, unlike a "half brother" there can be no such thing as a "half cousin." If you have a first cousin (child of your aunt or uncle), then your child and that first cousin are first cousins once removed. If you have a second cousin, they your child and that second cousin are second cousins once removed.
