4. Advertising, cookies, and Google AdSense
ZemenJobs Ethiopia displays advertisements through Google AdSense, a third-party advertising program operated by Google LLC. This is how we keep the job board free for all Ethiopian job seekers.
How Google AdSense uses cookies
Google AdSense uses cookies (small text files stored on your device) to serve advertisements that are relevant to you. These cookies allow Google and its partners to show you ads based on your previous visits to our website and other websites across the internet. This is called “interest-based advertising” or “personalized advertising.”
Specifically, Google may use the DoubleClick cookie and similar technologies to:
- Track which pages and ads you have previously visited
- Measure how often an ad is shown and how users interact with it
- Personalize the ads shown to you based on your browsing history
How to opt out of personalized ads
You have full control over personalized advertising. To opt out:
- Visit the Google Ads Settings page and turn off personalized ads
- Visit the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool
- Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent Google Analytics from tracking your visits
Please note that opting out of personalized ads does not remove ads from our website; it means the ads you see will not be based on your personal browsing history.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects data such as your IP address, pages visited, and time on site. This data is aggregated and anonymous, meaning we cannot use it to personally identify you. Google’s use of your data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
Cookie consent
By continuing to use ZemenJobs.com, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this section. You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some features on our site.
5. Sharing and disclosure of your information
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:
- With employers: When you apply for a job on our platform, or if you set your CV to “Public,” verified employers can view your professional profile to evaluate your application.
- With service providers: We work with trusted third-party providers for website hosting, email delivery, and payment processing. These providers access your data only to perform services on our behalf and are bound by confidentiality agreements.
- With Google: As described in Section 4, Google receives browsing and usage data through AdSense and Analytics. Their data practices are governed by Google’s own Privacy Policy.
- For legal compliance: We will disclose your information if required by Ethiopian law, a court order, or an official government request.
- In a business transfer: If ZemenJobs is acquired or merged with another organization, user data may be transferred. We will notify users via email before such a transfer occurs.
6. Data security and retention
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data. Our website uses SSL encryption (HTTPS) for all data transmitted between your device and our servers. Access to user data is restricted to authorized personnel only.
However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we work hard to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our services, meet legal obligations, or resolve disputes. If you delete your account, your personal data will be removed from our active systems within 30 days.

8. Third-party links and job sources
ZemenJobs Ethiopia publishes job vacancies sourced from publicly available announcements by Ethiopian employers, NGOs, and institutions. When you click “Apply” on a vacancy post, you may be redirected to the employer’s own website or application system.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external websites. We also do not verify the accuracy of all vacancy information and recommend that applicants verify job details directly with the hiring organization before applying. Please read our Disclaimer for more information.

ZemenJobs Ethiopia is designed for adult professionals and is not directed at individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we discover that a child has registered on our platform, we will delete their information immediately.
