Datatables-Django CSRF Token Issues

I'm developing a Django application and using Datatables Editor. It's giving me a CSRF token error. In a normal HTML form I would just write {% csrf token%) as part of the form. But, I don't know how to do this with AJAX. I saw this example here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/csrf/
Django recommends using the js-cookies.js script, which I added.
"The above code could be simplified by using the JavaScript Cookie library to replace getCookie:
var csrftoken = Cookies.get('csrftoken');"
However, I don' know where to place it. I've been trying to copy/paste in different spots and can't figure it out. I also don't know if I need anythong else.

Scroll down until you see: "Download the script here and include it (unless you are packaging scripts somehow else):"
In your script use the following:
