1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies and local browser storage are small data files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. They help the platform recognize your browser, keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and facilitate smooth real-time communication between tourists and drivers.
2. How Sululu Uses Cookies

- Real-Time Socket Connection: To maintain real-time bidirectional WebSocket channels (via Socket.io) for instantaneous bid alerts, trip status changes, and driver notifications.
- Preference & User Interface: To remember your chosen travel role (Tourist or Driver), pre-selected mountain routes, and notification settings.
- Security & Fraud Prevention: To safeguard API endpoints against automated bot submissions, spam requests, and brute-force abuse.
