Jquery stop HTML encoding cookie

I'm using this short snippet of code:

var d = itemID + "," + quantity;
var CookieData = $.cookie("storebasket");

if(CookieData == null || CookieData == "") {
    $.cookie("storebasket", d, { path: '/', expires: 60 });
} else {
    $.cookie("storebasket", CookieData + "|" + d, { path: '/', expires: 60 });
}

However the value ALWAYS becomes HTML encoded. For example:

5%2C1

Which when decoded with this tool is:

5,1

I've tried using unescape but no luck:

$.cookie("storebasket", unescape(d), { path: '/', expires: 60 });

Any more ideas?

jquery.cookie is encoding the comma by default. To override this just do:

$.cookie.raw = true;

This answer is really useful:

Allowed characters in cookies

But I really don't see the problem. When you want to use them in your document, you can unescape them. If you want to store them in the cookies, they are being escaped.
