Escape characters of an URL when filtering products

Hi,

By SEO directives, I would like to avoid the escape characters that appear in the URL when filtering products. For instance, in Rapido, these escape characters appear when selecting a brand in the facets of the left panel. The URL is

http://dwdemo.local.dynamicweb.dk/Default.aspx?ID=52&Brand=%5BAdidas%5D%2C%5BAscent%5D

And my goal would be

http://dwdemo.local.dynamicweb.dk/Default.aspx?ID=52&Brand=Adidas|Ascent

Is there any way to simplify the URL removing the escape characters?

Regards,
Tomás

It is because it is an array of values looking like this: [Adidas],[Ascent] - Dynamicweb needs that format in order to understand the values.

If you really belive it is a SEO issue, you need to locate the JS that creates the facet ULRs and make sure it does not URIComponentEncode the []. You cannot change the format from [] to |
