Bug description: Do not base64-encode cookies contents - please add to the manual
This is not an actual bug, but it might behave as one.
Cookies will not be set, if their contents are base64_encoded, since the encoding seems to have
characters which mess up the cookie.
So, if a user fills cookies with a bit more complicated data, he/she might want to encode it as e.g.
hexa-decimals.
This could be mentioned in the PHP-documentation.
