Comment (by Christos Georgiou):
There is a related discussion at
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/33212 where it is claimed that
splitting on ';' is safe (because a raw ';' is invalid in a cookie value).
I don't think it is, unless we assume that all HTTP requests come **from
well-known browsers** that are **trustworthy** to follow standards.
