This Cookie Policy explains how Really Real Work ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website and use our services. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use personal information.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until they expire or are deleted) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser).

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage to collect information about how you use our platform and to deliver personalized content. For the purposes of this policy, we refer to all such technologies collectively as "cookies."

  • Stripe — Payment processing (only on checkout pages)
