Introduction
This cookie policy explains what cookies and similar technologies our Website at www.apexlyn.com.au uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.
APEXLyn Pty Ltd (ABN 58 695 750 380) ("APEXLyn", "we", "us") is committed to respecting your privacy. We use minimal cookies and we do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or third-party tracking cookies.
This cookie policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy at www.apexlyn.com.au/privacy.
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website operator.
Cookies may be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them).
Cookies may be "first-party cookies" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party cookies" (set by a different website or service).

Cookies we do NOT use
We want to be explicit about what we do not use. The following types of cookies are NOT used on our Website:
- Google Analytics cookies (we do not use Google Analytics)
- Facebook Pixel or any Facebook/Meta tracking cookies
- LinkedIn Insight Tag or any LinkedIn tracking cookies
- Twitter/X tracking cookies
- Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, or any Google advertising cookies
- Any retargeting or remarketing cookies
- Any cross-site tracking cookies
- Any cookies from advertising networks or data brokers
- Any cookies that build a profile of your browsing behaviour across websites
- Any cookies used for programmatic advertising, real-time bidding, or ad targeting
We made a deliberate decision to use privacy-focused analytics (PostHog Cloud) rather than advertising-funded analytics platforms. This means your browsing data on our Website is never shared with Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, or any other advertising company.
How PostHog analytics works on our Website
Our analytics are powered by PostHog Cloud. PostHog helps us understand how visitors use our Website, including page views, navigation patterns, CTA interactions, and form-related events. Analytics only runs after you accept analytics cookies. If you decline analytics cookies or make no choice, PostHog is not initialised and no analytics events are sent. PostHog analytics is not used for advertising, retargeting, or cross-site advertising profiling.
How to control cookies
Cookie consent banner:
When you first visit our Website, a consent banner appears at the bottom of the page. You have two choices:
- Accept: Analytics cookies will be set and we will collect anonymous usage data about your visit. You can change your mind at any time (see below).
- Decline: No analytics cookies will be set and no usage data will be collected from your visit. The consent banner will not appear again for 365 days.
If you do not click either Accept or Decline, no analytics cookies are set, no analytics data is collected, and the consent banner will appear again on your next visit.
Both choices are equally accessible. We do not use dark patterns, pre-selected checkboxes, or hidden decline options.
Changing your consent:
If you previously accepted analytics and want to withdraw your consent:
- Clear your browser cookies for www.apexlyn.com.au. This will reset the consent banner and it will appear again on your next visit.
- Alternatively, contact us at legal@apexlyn.com.au and we will record your preference.
Browser settings:
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- view what cookies are currently set;
- delete individual cookies or all cookies;
- block all cookies or block third-party cookies;
- set preferences for specific websites; and
- be notified when a cookie is being set.
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some website features, particularly form submissions. The HubSpot functional cookies are used to prevent duplicate form submissions and to associate your form submission with a contact record.
For more information about managing cookies in your browser, visit your browser's help pages or www.allaboutcookies.org.
Opt-out of HubSpot cookies:
If you want to prevent HubSpot from setting cookies, you can block cookies from the domain hubspot.com in your browser settings. This will not prevent you from submitting forms on our Website, but it may result in duplicate form submissions not being detected.
Changes to this cookie policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we update this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
