Remarks
See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1969232/allowed-characters-in-cookies for a discussion of problematic cookie values that require encoding. When so specified, the value is encoded using the .Net HttpUtility.UrlEncode() method which is at least approximately equivalent to the javascript encodeURIComponent() method. Use GetEncodedCookieValue(HttpRequest, String) when retrieving values from such cookies.
