PHP cookie is not url safe

I am using PHP to create cookie using

setcookie("key", "value@value");

but if we check the cookie in browser resources it shows value%40value. I need it to be value@value

When I created cookie using Java, I see proper value value@value.

I already tried urldecode and urlencode functions. None of them worked.

You need to be using setrawcookie(). Take a look at what the docs have to say on the subject:

Note that the value portion of the cookie will automatically be urlencoded when you send the cookie, and when it is received, it is automatically decoded and assigned to a variable by the same name as the cookie name. If you don't want this, you can use setrawcookie() instead if you are using PHP 5.
