How to decrypt express-session cookie value in browser?

https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-session

I saved my session information in cookies through a module called express-session.
Of course, this was hashed through the secretkey I supplied.
However, for debugging purposes, I want to check this value in the browser.

This is what i can see in my browser s%3AdiNiZbm2WZvcmn6sJtl1VPvdrRIv9Yvw.M0mQUA9J3dEKybewFq5rTMJWg7dcazbZ6YvKRH9Nxo0

I guess this value is hashed with sha1. But i don't know how to read it....

It would be great if express-session had an option to send without hashes. there was no such option

If i can decipher it, I guess it would be something like this.
