Cookies Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026 · Last Updated: April 30, 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how WorkRemotelyNow ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on https://workremotelynow.com/ (the "Site"). It also describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.

Quick summary: We use cookies to make the Site work, remember your preferences (like dark mode and your 7-Pillar Score), measure traffic, and — where you've consented — show relevant ads. You can disable most cookies in your browser settings at any time.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and improve your experience. Cookies can be set by the site you're visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services are embedded on that site ("third-party cookies").

Beyond cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage (e.g., your saved 7-Pillar score and theme preference), and session storage. For simplicity, this Policy refers to all of these collectively as "cookies."

2. Types of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, and access to protected areas. The Site cannot function properly without these. They cannot be switched off in our systems but can be blocked in your browser (some features may break as a result).

2.2 Preference / Functionality Cookies

These remember choices you make to give you a more personalized experience — for example:

Your dark/light mode preference (stored as wrn-theme in local storage).
Your 7-Pillar Remote Work Setup Score™ checkboxes (stored as wrn-pillar-score-v2 in local storage so your score persists between visits).
Display settings, language, and region preferences.

2.3 Analytics & Performance Cookies

These help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve the Site, our content, and the overall reader experience. Common providers include Google Analytics.

2.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

If we display advertising, these cookies may be set through the Site by our advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.

2.5 Affiliate Tracking Cookies

When you click an affiliate link on the Site (for example, a recommended chair, monitor, or software tool), the affiliate network may set a cookie to track that you came from WorkRemotelyNow. This helps us earn a small commission if you make a qualifying purchase. See our Disclaimer for full affiliate details.

Embedded media — YouTube, Vimeo, or social media embeds may set their own cookies when you interact with embedded content.

We do not control these third-party cookies. Please review the relevant third party's privacy and cookie policies for details.

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect your experience on the Site. Some features (such as remembering your 7-Pillar score or your dark-mode choice) rely on local storage and won't work without it.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry-wide standard for how to interpret DNT signals, we currently do not respond to them. We may revisit this policy as standards develop.
