1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (like login status or language) over time, so you don't have to re-enter them every time you visit.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons (for email tracking) and local storage (to save your job bookmarks). This policy refers to all of them collectively as "cookies."
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
Strictly necessary cookies (always active)
These are essential for the site to function. They keep you logged in to your account, secure your session, and protect against fraud. You cannot opt out of these without breaking the site.
Functional cookies (you can opt out)
These remember your choices, such as your preferred region, language, and saved job searches. They make your experience smoother but aren't strictly required.
Analytics cookies (you can opt out)
These help us understand how visitors use AtoZJobs — which pages are popular, where users drop off, and what we can improve. We use MonsterInsights / Google Analytics for this. All data is anonymized and aggregated.
Marketing and email cookies (you can opt out)
We use MailPoet cookies to track when you open our emails or click on links inside them. This helps us send more relevant content.

4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies come from third-party services we use. These have their own privacy policies:
- Google Analytics — Privacy policy
- Stripe (payment processing) — Privacy policy
- MailPoet (email delivery) — Privacy policy
5. Your cookie choices
When you first visit AtoZJobs, you'll see a cookie banner asking you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time by:
- Clicking the **"Cookie Settings"** link in our footer
- Clearing your browser cookies and reloading the page to see the banner again
Disabling cookies in your browser
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Here's how:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Note: Disabling strictly necessary cookies will break login and other core features of AtoZJobs.
6. Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. AtoZJobs does not currently respond to DNT signals because there is no industry-wide standard for how to do so. However, our cookie banner gives you full control over non-essential cookies regardless of your browser's DNT setting.
7. Children's privacy
AtoZJobs is not intended for users under 16. We do not knowingly set cookies on devices belonging to children. If you believe a child has visited our site, please contact us at privacy@atozjobs.net.
