An invalid character [59] was present in the Cookie value

So I have seen other questions about this, but none have been able to solve my issue.

I am getting a 

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: An invalid character [59] was present in the Cookie value

error. I am using DeviceLookupClient.jar and it adds a cookie somewhere that tomcat is refusing.

So when I run this in weblogic after everything is successful I get this cookie (from network tab):

WurflCloud_Client   
value   "{\"capabilities\":{\"is_smart…383,\"id\":\"firefox_54_0\"}"
expires "2017-08-17T16:03:03.000Z"

Run the same code in tomcat and it fails before that cookie ever gets created. I believe [59] character is a semicolon and I don't see any in there. If something in that cookie is not allowed then is there a way to allow it, rather than manipulate the library I am using?

It might be solved if you encode the given value like this:

URLEncoder.encode(""{\"capabilities\":{\"is_smart…383,\"id\":\"firefox_54_0\"}"","UTF-8");
