Cookies are not really encoded, all the information you store in a cookie can be read by opening it, there is a lot or other characters that are there but dont worry about them, plus different browser write cookies in different ways.
using response.cookies() and request.cookie() will make and get the information from the cookie, if thats what you are wanting to do, dont worry about altering them yourself, and most pl wont look at them any way, just make sure you dont hold vital info in them like credit card details.
If you are looking for a slightly better and more secure way of writing cookies look at session variables which are a bit like cookies but are stored in memory and not as a file, therefore they are harder to look at.
Hope that helps sorry if it doesn't
