Cookie Policy & Route Telemetry Settings

1. Principles of Cookie Usage at Signalzappyd

This Cookie Policy explains how Signalzappyd Expedition Systems Ltd. uses cookies, browser local storage tokens, and related telemetry protocols when you navigate signalzappyd.yachts. We operate on a data-minimization philosophy: we only store identifiers strictly necessary to preserve your custom route configurations, transit filters, and elevation map views.

2. Categories of Cookies We Deploy

Cookies deployed across our platform are structured into the following operational tiers:

Cookie Identifier	Classification	Purpose Description	Retention Period
signalzappyd_cookie_consent	Strictly Necessary	Stores your choice regarding privacy consent and analytics options.	12 Months
sz_route_params	Functional / Route Telemetry	Caches active Route Explorer parameters (selected days, transit mode, pacing).	Session / 30 Days
sz_map_view_state	Functional	Remembers interactive SVG map filter toggles (Alpine Rail, Coastal, Transylvania).	Session
sz_anon_perf	Performance & Analytics	Aggregates anonymous page render speeds and calculator latency without tracking PII.	90 Days

3. Strictly Necessary vs. Optional Telemetry

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These tokens are essential for core site navigation, form security, and maintaining calculator session states. Disabling them in your browser may render our interactive route synthesizers inoperable.

Functional & Performance Telemetry: These cookies help us evaluate which route corridors (such as the Swiss Glacier Express or Transfăgărășan circuits) experience high calculation load, enabling us to optimize route server caching.
