Just pasting an ES6 version of sobstel's nice answer:

send(someUrl + 'error?d=' + encodeURI(JSON.stringify(json)) + '&callback=c', 'c', 5)
    .then((json) => console.log(json))
    .catch((err) => console.log(err))

function send(url, callback, timeout) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        let script = document.createElement('script')
        let timeout_trigger = window.setTimeout(() => {
            window[callback] = () => {}
            script.parentNode.removeChild(script)
            reject('No response')
        }, timeout * 1000)

        window[callback] = (data) => {
            window.clearTimeout(timeout_trigger)
            script.parentNode.removeChild(script)
            resolve(data)
        }

        script.type = 'text/javascript'
        script.async = true
        script.src = url

        document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script)
    })
}
