Human Readable Cookie


Question

Is there a site/simple way to make the data in a cookie human readable ?

I'm looking for a way to remove things like %7C, %3E, etc ..

I'm betting this is a simple task, but I haven't done much with cookies in the past, and would be flying blind.

Depends how the cookie is saved, and what type of data.

but I know on Firefox you can get "Add n' edit cookies" or "cookie viewer", and see the contents of cookies.

It won't show you passwords or anything, unless the website is dumb enough to store those.

Cookies from different places could be saved in a different formats - so there's no universal way to make any cookie human readable. What you described sounds like they're just url-encoded strings though. You could probably use this to decode it. It still might not be particularly human readable though - they're designed to be read by computers :p
