About

JS Cookie is an open-source, lightweight JavaScript library for managing browser cookies.

It provides a simple API for setting, retrieving, and removing cookies, supports custom encoding and decoding, and is less than 800 bytes when gzipped.

Polyfill.io is an open-source JavaScript library that provides modern web API features to older browsers that do not natively support them.

It was originally owned by the Financial Times web team, then moved under community management, and after a supply chain attack in 2024 involving its cdn.polyfill.io domain, the service was discontinued and is now safely mirrored and maintained by Cloudflare and Fastly.
