## What it is
Cookies.js is a lightweight, dependency-free JavaScript library for reading, writing, and expiring browser cookies, compliant with RFC6265. It works across browsers and supports AMD/CommonJS loaders, including Node environments without a window object.

## Use cases
- manage browser cookies in javascript
- set and get cookies client-side
- rfc6265 compliant cookie handling
- expire cookies from the browser
- lightweight cookie library with no dependencies

## When to choose
- you need a tiny, dependency-free cookie utility for the browser
- you need broad legacy browser support including IE6+
- you want public-domain licensed code with no licensing concerns

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the latest release is from 2020
- you need server-side cookie management
- you prefer modern APIs like the native CookieStore or a full-featured cookie framework

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: serialization, http-client
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: cookies, rfc6265, client-side, no-dependencies, public-domain, nodejs
