How to pass variables in a get request without showing it in the url - nodejs

I want to make a get request to render a page but I need to pass 2 variables to that page. How can I create a ajax request to do this without having the variables show up in my url such as var1=?var2=?. 

$.ajax({
  async: true,
  type: 'POST',
  url: '/profile',
  data: {
    'UID': currentUid,
    'Name': user_data.displayName
  },
  success: function (res) {}
})

I thought of creating a post request and passing the variables that way but then how do I render the page that I want to because my Post request doesn't fetch the page

In express you should get the page using

app.post

instead of

app.get

If you do for example:

var express=require('express')
var app=express()
app.get('/profile')

Your app will not fetch the page using POST method. Only GET method. This might be your issue.
