Why do you use `encodeURIComponent` when setting the key?

Hi!

I would love to know why do you use encodeURIComponent when setting the cookie. it could be problematic if you have cookie keys that includes: ":". example: my-app:cool-cookie

Best regards, Daniel.

The cookie value string can use encodeURIComponent() to ensure that the string does not contain any commas, semicolons, or whitespace (which are disallowed in cookie values).

encodeURIComponent/decodeURIComponent escape sequences (e.g. comma, quotes, [], : , ; etc)

example:

// set
encodeURIComponent('my-app:cool-cookie') // "my-app%3Acool-cookie"

// get
decodeURIComponent("my-app%3Acool-cookie") // "my-app:cool-cookie"
