Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how AtoZJobs ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, mobile applications, and related services (collectively, the "Platform"). By using AtoZJobs, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
Quick summary: We use cookies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, understand how our job board is used, and show you relevant job listings. You can control or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give site owners useful information about how their platform is being used.
Cookies do not contain viruses and cannot execute programs. They are not used to identify you personally unless you have provided personal information through a form or account registration.
2. How We Use Cookies
AtoZJobs uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies: Required for the basic functioning of the Platform, such as logging in, navigating between pages, and accessing secure areas.
- Performance & analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our job board by collecting anonymous usage data — for example, which job categories are most viewed.
- Functionality cookies: Remember your preferences, such as your preferred language, location, and job search filters, so you don't have to re-enter them each time.
- Targeting & advertising cookies: Used to show you job listings and advertisements that are relevant to your skills and interests, both on AtoZJobs and on partner platforms.
- Social media cookies: Allow you to share job listings and interact with our content on social platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter/X.
