Sorry for my late response. Apparently I’m not getting notifications yet…
The PHP module is always active, the JavaScript only front-end. It depends on the plugins that leverage the api if it’s actually used of course.
I don’t think there will be a need for the JavaScript API on the back-end, but if there would be an actual use case we could add this.

Thanks for the answer
Of course there is a need on the admin side …
cookies can be set up by wordpress itself or any external services included in standard wp or plugins :
* wp logging,
* google font on standard wp themes,
* gravatar,
* others
These can all be leveraged by either WordPress or the plugins that are active on the back-end, so it’s already possible to use it that way.
In the end, it’s up to WP Core and plugin developers to use the API, thus ensuring compliance.
