You can use URL encoding to escape any special characters (+, %, =, ;).

The URL encoded value of ; is %3B.

For a better reference, check out the Java JSON API.

Semicolon is not allowed in cookies. Your best shot is to use some other separator. Read the linked answer to figure out what character can be used.
