How to handle username with space when we set to cookie? What's the best practice?

In the username, I put my Firstname and Lastname with space in between. I got an IllegalArgumentException saying cookie should not contain []. I assume it is space.

What's the best practice to handle this?

post("/sign-in", (req,resp) -> {
<String, String> model = new HashMap<>();
String username = req.queryParams("username");
resp.cookie("username", username);
model.put("username", username);
resp.redirect("/");
return null;
});

-- It will fail on resp.cookie("username", username), if I pass the username as "Firstname Lastname"
