What Are Cookies & Storage
Cookies and browser localStorage are lightweight data containers stored on your device. They allow web tools to remember your chosen passport routes, active filter thresholds, and consent choices without requiring recurring server logins.
Storage Categories We Utilize
1. Strictly Necessary
Required for responsive route rendering, sticky header scroll restoration, and consent status.
2. Functional & Routes
Caches active passport origin/destination state and filter parameters for instantaneous table comparisons.
3. Anonymous Telemetry
Aggregated page views and corridor popularity without collecting IP addresses or personal identities.
