Cookies.js Client-Side Cookie Manipulation

Cookies.js is a lightweight client-side JavaScript library for managing browser cookies, adhering to RFC6265 standards. The current stable version is 1.2.3, which was released approximately eight years ago (as of April 2026), indicating that the project is likely abandoned or in a deep maintenance phase with no active development. It distinguishes itself by having no external dependencies, offering cross-browser compatibility (IE6+, Chrome, Firefox 3+, Safari 4+, Opera 10+), and being released into the public domain. The library supports AMD and CommonJS module loaders and includes specific provisions for use in Node.js environments that lack a native `window` object, requiring a factory method for initialization. It transparently handles URI encoding of cookie keys and values using UTF-8 representation.
