Yes, you are essentially sharing your copy.

You are sharing access to your library, so stick to close family and trusted friends.

Someone else using your library to *cheat* in a multiplayer game can earn a ban on both your accounts!

so to enable i just log into my account from his computer download it from there.Go to his account from there and click on the game for permission.Then i go to my steam account to accept or decline the permission got it thx

But beware, you cant play both at the same time. Your cousin can only play the game when you do not use your library. If you want to play your games he gets kicked off. Any game, not just the one you share.
