Last updated: June 12, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and collect information about how you use the site.

Similar technologies include:

  • Web beacons ("pixel tags"): Small transparent images used to track user behavior and email opens.
  • Local storage: Browser-based data storage for app preferences and session information.
  • Session storage: Temporary storage that is cleared when you close your browser.
  • JavaScript tags: Code snippets that collect and transmit data to analytics and marketing platforms.

In this Cookie Policy, we use "cookies" as a general term covering all of these technologies.

2. Who Sets Cookies on Nearwork's Website?

Cookies on Nearwork's websites are set by:

  • Nearwork directly ("first-party cookies"): Cookies we set to make our website work.
  • Third-party service providers ("third-party cookies"): Cookies set by our analytics and marketing partners.

3. What Cookies We Use and Why

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the website and platform to function. They cannot be disabled.

  • Session authentication: Keeps you logged in to talent.nearwork.co or app.nearwork.co during your session.
  • Security tokens: CSRF and similar tokens that protect against malicious form submissions.
  • Load balancing: Ensures requests are routed to the correct server.

Legal basis: These cookies are necessary for the performance of our contract with you (providing the platform service).

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it.

  • Google Analytics (analytics.google.com): Tracks page views, session duration, traffic sources, user behavior, and site performance. Data includes IP address (anonymized by default), device type, browser, and navigation paths. Google Analytics may retain data for up to 26 months.
  • Google Tag Manager (tagmanager.google.com): Container tag that manages and deploys other tracking tags including Google Analytics. GTM itself does not collect personal data but enables the tags above.

Legal basis: Legitimate interests (improving our website). You may opt out as described in Section 6.

3.3 Marketing and Preference Cookies

These cookies help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

  • HubSpot tracking: HubSpot may set cookies on our website to track visitor behavior for CRM and marketing automation purposes. This allows us to understand which marketing campaigns drive traffic and conversions.
  • LinkedIn Insight Tag (if present): May be used to measure conversions from LinkedIn advertising and to enable retargeting.

However, under the broad definition of "sale" or "share" in the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), sharing behavioral data with Google Analytics — in exchange for free analytics services — may qualify as a "sale" or "sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising." You have the right to opt out of this as described in Section 6.
