JavaScript Cookie Sets array but does not return it

I'm using JavaScript Cookie and I set the the cookie with a value of a blank array, but when i try to read te value, the return type is not an array. What am I doing wrong and why is it wrong?

if (Cookies.get('saved_boards') == null) {
    var array = new Array();
    Cookies.set('saved_boards', array, {
        expires: 1
    });
}

var saves = Cookies.get('saved_boards'); // saves is not of array type

As @nnnnnn pointed out, the array was set to a string when set as the value of a cookie, therefore parsing is needed to get the response as an array. 

var saves = Cookies.getJSON('saved_boards');

This method gets and parses the response in one step.
