Google 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.

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.
