Privacy
Last updated 16 October 2026.
Mach Corridor has no accounts, no sign-up, no analytics and no tracking of its own. It does not set cookies and does not store anything in your browser. What you click, the routes you plan and the settings you choose stay in your browser and in the page address.
Who runs this site
Mach Corridor is an open research project by Fernando J. Vazquez. The code is public at github.com/FernandoVazq/mach-corridor. Questions about this policy: open an issue there.

To show the map, your browser downloads files from these services. Like any web server, each one receives your IP address, your browser's user agent and the address of the file it asks for, and may keep them in its logs under its own policy. None of them receives anything you type into the site.

Advertising and cookies
The site does not show ads today. If ads are turned on, they will appear in one box in the side panel, labelled "Advertisement", and never over the map. They will be served by Google AdSense, and this section applies:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices (or youronlinechoices.eu in Europe).
- Ad vendors: Google AdSense (Google LLC). Google may also let other certified ad networks bid for the ad space; they are listed on Google's ad technology providers page, and the opt-out links above apply to them. How Google uses information from sites that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
- Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland will be asked for consent through Google's consent message before personalised ads or advertising cookies are used. You can change your choice at any time from the link the message provides.
Support link
If a "Support" link is shown, it goes to GitHub Sponsors. Payments are handled by GitHub and its payment processor; this site never sees payment details.
