Client-side JavaScript has no ability to send an E-mail.

It can attempt to navigate to a "mailto:" URL, but that won't be automated and
will require user intervention to send (assuming it works at all, some users
don't have an E-mail client configured to come up for "mailto:" URLs).

Read the cookie from the server, send the E-mail from there.
