1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit them. They help the website remember your preferences and understand how you interact with the site. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies); others remain on your device for a set period (persistent cookies).
We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixel tags, which function in comparable ways. When we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we include all such technologies.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use a minimal set of cookies to operate our website and understand how visitors use it. Our cookies fall into the following categories:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as language preferences, navigation, and security. You cannot opt out of these cookies because the website cannot operate properly without them.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting aggregated, anonymized usage data. We use this information to improve our content and user experience. Analytics cookies are set by default to help us understand how visitors use our site. You can decline these cookies at any time through our consent banner.
Functional Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make (such as your preferred language) to provide a more personalized experience. Some functional cookies overlap with strictly necessary cookies when the functionality is essential to site operation.
Note: PassportCraft does not currently use any marketing, advertising, or social media tracking cookies.
