 Although in the ticket #4606 there was a change to convert
 {{{
 encodeURIComponent(document.cookie)
 }}}
 to
 {{{
 bp_get_cookies()
 }}}
 there is still one entry of the former within jquery.autocomplete.js (now
 deprecated due to #5735), see
 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/bp-
 core/deprecated/js/autocomplete/jquery.autocomplete.js?rev=8559#L329

 Whilst waiting for #5735 to modernise all the JS should it be wise to
 update the existing autocomplete too?
