## What it is
A simple, lightweight jQuery plugin for reading, writing, and deleting browser cookies from client-side JavaScript. It is no longer maintained and has been superseded by JS Cookie (js-cookie/js-cookie).

## Use cases
- read and write browser cookies in javascript
- manage cookies with jquery
- create expiring cookies client-side
- delete cookies with matching path and domain attributes
- store json values in cookies
- read all available cookies at once

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy codebase already using jquery.cookie version 1.5.1 or earlier
- you need the historical backwards-compatible 1.5.1 release documentation

## When to avoid
- starting any new project - use js-cookie instead
- you need bug fixes, security updates, or new features
- you want RFC 6265 compliance and modern module support

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend, browser-extensions
- platform: browser
- tags: jquery-plugin, cookies, client-side, superseded, legacy, javascript
