Yeah, that was weird. What do their cookie policies have to do with helping women find a career at Northvolt? A quick search for related keywords on their privacy policy page reveals nothing on the topic.
That aside, I'm really excited about Northvolt and what they're doing, it sounds like really interesting work.
- brtkdotse 5y agoGoogle Analytics gives you demographic data like gender. I guess that could be leveraged to target job ads but the fact they didn’t even bother putting up an explanation tells me it’s just guilt tripping you into accepting cookies.
- drakonka 5y agoI didn't _think_ GA provided a mechanism for a site owner to target a user in real time based on their gender though. I just assumed everyone got the same popup regardless of gender.

- matsemann 5y agoNot if it's done to actually make sure listings are viewed by a representative group of people in the industry. Don't always assume the worst. If anything, most companies have huge biases in the way they conduct recruiting. Take home tasks excludes those taking care of a child alone in larger degree than other groups for instance, posting listings only on HN would skew the people applying heavily. Etc etc. Making sure you've reached all groups is actually laudable.
