magento2 – How to pass parameter from phtml template file to controller in Magento 2 – Proxies-free.com: 100% Free Daily Proxy Lists Every Day!

I have created a custom module. It basically displays a popup modal that prompts user to enter their ship-to location.

Below is my code:

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
    <module name="Learning_ShiptoModal">
        <sequence>
            <module name="Magento_Theme"/>
        </sequence>
    </module>
</config>

                let date = new Date();
                // use days param if set in init, otherwise use default days (180)
                let numberOfDays = DEFAULT_DAYS_TO_EXPIRE;
                date.setTime(date.getTime() + (numberOfDays*60*60*24*1000));
                let expires = "; expires=" + date.toUTCString();
                document.cookie = 'cookie-shipto' + "=" + true  + expires + "; path=/";

                let selected_state = $("#state :selected").text();
                
                // jQuery.ajax({
                //     url: "/vendor/module/result/result",
                //     type: "POST",
                //     data: {height:height,weight:weight},
                //     success: function(response){
                //         console.log(response);
                //     }
                // });

                //close the modal
                this.closeModal();
            }
        })
    };

    var popup = modal(options, $('#vistar-shipto-modal'));

    $(document).ready(function() {
        if (!checkBannerCookie) {
            $(this).find('(value="58")').remove();
            setTimeout(function() {
                $('#vistar-shipto-modal').modal('openModal');
            }, 2000);
        }
    });
});

My question is how can I pass this $("#state :selected").text() to controller so I can add some logic to it?
