This Cookie Policy explains when and how APNA uses cookies and other similar tracking technologies and when such cookies and technologies are stored on the device from where you access APNA’s application and websites. This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service/s.
A "cookie" is a piece of information stored on your device that helps websites and applications remember information about your visit. Cookies can help personalise your experience, remember preferences, and provide analytical data. They are commonly used and do not harm your system.
You can manage what types of cookies you accept via your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect your ability to use all features of the website/s and the application.
We use cookies to understand how users interact with APNA’s applications and websites, to enable and improve your experience with the services, and to support advertising efforts. Some cookies are essential to the functioning of the application, while others help us improve performance and deliver more relevant content.
Cookies are either:
Session cookies: Temporary cookies deleted when the browser or the application is closed.
Persistent cookies: Remain on your device until manually deleted or expire. These are used for services like Google Analytics.
Cookies can also be grouped into the following types:
Strictly necessary cookies: Required for core functions like signing in and secure navigation. These do not require consent.
Performance cookies: Monitor website usage, help us understand how users interact with the application and support improvements. These are non-essential and require consent.
Advertising cookies: Track user behaviour to support marketing and retargeting campaigns.
These cookies are necessary for APNA’s applications and websites to function. They enable secure login and navigation throughout the application.
No consent is required for these under Australian privacy law, and they are generally exempt under GDPR as strictly necessary cookies.
Application: Google Analytics is used to track how users interact with the application.
These cookies collect anonymised data such as:
Screens viewed
Time spent in the app
Navigation patterns
This information helps inform design decisions and product improvements but is not essential to the core functionality of the application.
Website: Google Analytics is used to understand how visitors engage with APNA’s applications and websites. These cookies collect anonymised data including:
Page views
Bounce rates
Traffic sources
This helps us improve website performance and inform content strategy.
Advertising: Non-essential cookies for advertising
A Meta (Facebook) Pixel is used to track user behaviour on the websites. This allows APNA’s applications and websites to:
Measure ad performance
Deliver future retargeted ads via Facebook and Instagram
These cookies may associate APNA’s applications and website activities with your Meta account (if logged in) and may be used for profiling or audience segmentation.
Please note: Data collected by the Meta Pixel is shared with Meta Platforms Inc, which is located outside of Australia.
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. This can be done via your browser settings:
Please note, rejecting essential cookies may affect the performance and usability of the application and the websites.
Additionally, you can opt out via third-party services:
