Cookie Policy & Tracking Technologies
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are compact text strings stored on your computing terminal or mobile device when accessing web applications. We also leverage modern browser storage mechanisms such as localStorage to store user states, such as your interactive passport stamps, without requiring invasive server-side tracking cookies.
This policy complies with the European ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC as amended) and the GDPR, ensuring complete transparency regarding how and why tracking artifacts are generated.
