Hi,
I am js-Cookie to set the Cookie in my browser. In my nextjs project.
When I am accessing cookies on the client side and Parsing it's giving me inconsistent results.
When I am accessing, cookies in my nextjs middleware it gives me consistent results without any errors.
I understand that it might be parsing error because the cookie is saved in the string format.
1. Want to know how can I resolve it and what's a better way to save object in a cookie .
2. What to do in case there is a special character in the object that is stored in cookie.
Cause JSON.stringify will convert the cookie but Parsing will throw an error.

one kind of "I give up" option would be to store
btoa(JSON.stringify(...stuff)then to "refresh" it with
JSON.parse(atob(cookieTextBlob))Cape lionOP
