Encode or Decode space that save in cookies in mvc razor

Question

I am creating cookie using jquery and I set value into it. when I am reading that value, it is coming as something like with %20, there spaces has been converted to some thing like that. so how can I get proper value.

here is my Cookie creation code :

 $.cookie('ck_name', 'william smith', { path: '/' });

in razor, I am reading cookie like this :

 Request.Cookies["ck_coursename"].Value.ToString()

Output is : willian%20smith

i tried both @html.raw() and httputility.htmlencode, but problem still persists.

any help ? can be appreciated.. thanks in advance.

The value is URL encoded, so you would use the UrlDecode method to read it:

HttpUtility.UrlDecode(Request.Cookies["ck_coursename"].Value.ToString())
