"Invalid cookie value" when calling REST API leads

I'm trying to get the lead information for the current user in a website, using this REST API: Get Multiple Leads By Filter Type

I have the right authentication token ( I am able to call other entries, i.e. /lead/{id}.json ) but whenever I call the "leads" resource with filterType=cookie&filterValues=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx I get a JSON error response with this value in the message property:

Invalid cookie value 'id:561-HYG-937&token:_mch-marketo.com-1415884534947-30230'

I have encoded the '&' inside the cookie value as %26, and it is reaching the API correctly. The value stated in the error message matches exactly the value of my _mkto_trk cookie on the 'marketo.com' domain.

Any clue on what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

I am now going to make sure our form submission code comply with the specs in this post - by Murtza Manzur himself - and try again. I will post here the results.

I am not sure. It is possible. Let me know if following steps in that blog post solve the issue.

Yes! That worked.

So:

Murtza's first reply was the right one for my original question.
The rest of the thread helped me fix a separate issue we had when submitting the forms to Marketo: we were missing the _mkt_trk hidden field, so the cookie value was not being stored with the lead data.

Thanks Murtza for your help through all this process.
