You can use URL encoding to escape any special characters (+, %, =, ;).
The URL encoded value of ; is %3B.
For a better reference, check out the Java JSON API.

it didn't work, same problem, isn't there any class in java to create cookies one by one? – user1504712 Jul 05 '12 at 20:30

Semicolon is not allowed in cookies. Your best shot is to use some other separator. Read the linked answer to figure out what character can be used.

I actually have a cookie that contains some Semicolons, even if it is forbidden, i have to create one cookie with that value, isn't there a way to encode the cookie or somthing so that the Semicolons in it's value don't make the separation in it? – user1504712 Jul 05 '12 at 17:18
