 ## Installation
 
+#### NPM
+
+JavaScript Cookie supports [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/js-cookie) under the name `js-cookie`.
+
+```
+$ npm install js-cookie --save
+```
+
+```javascript
+import Cookies from "js.cookie.mjs";
+
+Cookies.set('foo', 'bar');
+```
+
 ### Direct download
 
-Download the script [here](https://github.com/js-cookie/js-cookie/blob/latest/src/js.cookie.js) and include it (unless you are packaging scripts somehow else):
+The source comes as an ES module. If you download it [here](https://github.com/js-cookie/js-cookie/blob/latest/src/js.cookie.mjs) directly, you must include it as such:
 
 ```html
-<script src="/path/to/js.cookie.js"></script>
+<script type="module" src="/path/to/js.cookie.mjs"></script>
 ```
 
-Or include it via [jsDelivr CDN](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/js-cookie):
+You can then import it:
+
+```javascript
+import Cookies from "/path/to/js.cookie.mjs";
+
+Cookies.set('foo', 'bar');
+```
+
+*Not all browsers support ES modules natively yet*. For this reason the npm package/release
+comes with both an ES module as well as an UMD module variant. Include the module along
+with the fallback to account for this:
 
 ```html
-<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/js-cookie@2/src/js.cookie.min.js"></script>
+<script type="module" src="/path/to/js.cookie.mjs"></script>
+<script nomodule src="/path/to/js.cookie.js"></script>
 ```
 
-**Do not include the script directly from GitHub (http://raw.github.com/...).** The file is being served as text/plain and as such being blocked
-in Internet Explorer on Windows 7 for instance (because of the wrong MIME type). Bottom line: GitHub is not a CDN.
+Note the different extensions: `.mjs` denotes an ES module.
 
-### Package Managers
+### CDN 
 
-JavaScript Cookie supports [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/js-cookie) under the name `js-cookie`.
+Alternatively, include it via [jsDelivr CDN](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/js-cookie):
 
-#### NPM
-```
-  $ npm install js-cookie --save
+```html
+<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/js-cookie@2/src/js.cookie.min.js"></script>
 ```
 
-### Module Loaders
-
-JavaScript Cookie can also be loaded as an AMD or CommonJS module.
+**Never include the source directly from GitHub (http://raw.github.com/...).** The file
+is being served as text/plain and as such may be blocked because of the wrong MIME type.
+Bottom line: GitHub is not a CDN.
