I'm not sure JS needs any sort if cookie management API. Cookie management across browsers via JavaScript is pretty much identical from what I remember. But even beyond that, for the most part the browser handles cookies for us, passing them around and modifying them when necessary based on headers it receives so there is rarely the need to mess with cookies manually at all.
