Cookie & Analytics Notice
Version 1.0.3 — Last updated: 13 November 2026
LynkHUB (operator details in our Terms of Service) uses cookies and similar browser storage to operate LynkHUB and, with your choice, provide browser analytics. We also provide limited server-side product analytics as described below. Read this with our Privacy Policy.
1. Essential storage and analytics storage
| Type | Purpose | Normal duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential authentication/security storage | Sign-in, session protection and requested account functions | According to the relevant session/security function |
| Essential consent-preference storage | Remember your analytics choice and notice version | Six months |
| Analytics: first-party lynk_visitor cookie | A random pseudonymous identifier used to estimate unique visitors and related product metrics where enabled | Up to twelve months from creation |
| Analytics: PostHog cookies/technologies | Understand how LynkHUB's own product and website are used, only with analytics consent | As listed in Cookie Settings |
Cookie Settings lists the actual cookies/providers, purposes and durations used by the service. Essential storage operates without optional analytics consent because it supports the requested service or remembers your choice.
2. Your choice
We use a consent-first model for browser analytics. Where analytics is offered, you can select:
- Reject Analytics: keep PostHog off and remove the analytics visitor cookie where available.
- Allow Analytics: allow PostHog and the first-party lynk_visitor analytics cookie.
Both choices are equally available. Browsing is not consent. Until you allow analytics, we do not activate PostHog or set lynk_visitor. Limited server-side product analytics may continue where available, as explained below. Cookie Settings lets you review or change your choice at any time.
We normally remember either choice for six months. After consent expires, PostHog and the analytics visitor cookie stay off until you choose again. Rejecting analytics does not prevent ordinary use of permitted profiles, links, QR or NFC destinations.
3. What analytics measures
LynkHUB's core product analytics may include profile views, link clicks, QR scans/resolutions, NFC events where enabled, event time and target, approximate geography, device category, browser, operating system, referrer domain, limited UTM attribution and a random pseudonymous visitor identifier. Unique visitors, views and clicks are estimates.
Limited network and browser information, including IP address and coarse device/browser information, may be processed transiently for security, approximate geography and estimating unique visits, including when no analytics cookie is present. Temporary server-side visit-recognition data expires within seven days without reuse. Raw IP addresses are not intentionally stored in LynkHUB product analytics records; necessary networking/security processing is separate.
The random visitor identifier is pseudonymous and is not derived from your name, email, account or IP address. We do not link it to your email or signed-in account for visit estimation. PostHog is a separate service provider for consent-based analytics of LynkHUB's own product and website use.
Account holders receive aggregate metrics rather than raw visitor identifiers or individual histories. Raw events are normally retained for up to 24 months under the Privacy Policy. Identifiable history remains personal information; longer anonymous totals do not justify indefinite personal-event storage.
4. Availability and direct links
In V1, non-essential analytics, including core server-side product metrics, analytics cookies and PostHog, is unavailable for EEA visits. It also stays off if the request location cannot be reliably determined. We may use coarse country information supplied by hosting infrastructure for this availability check.
A permitted managed link, QR or NFC destination can work without analytics. Where analytics is available, a direct redirect may contribute to limited server-side metrics even if you never view a LynkHUB page. We do not require an extra consent page just to continue a direct redirect.
Allow Analytics only enables browser analytics where the feature is available. This Notice does not promise legal tailoring for every country where a link can be opened.
5. Changing or withdrawing consent
Open Cookie Settings to reject or withdraw browser analytics. We stop PostHog and new consent-based collection and remove lynk_visitor where available. Essential sign-in, security and preference storage and eligible limited server-side product analytics may continue.
Withdrawal also leads to erasure or anonymisation of reasonably linkable consent-based personal events unless a separate lawful retention ground applies. Truly anonymous totals may remain.
Clearing browser storage may remove both your preference and the identifier needed to locate previous events. You can use browser controls as well, but blocking necessary storage may affect sign-in or requested functionality.
6. No advertising tracking
We do not sell personal information or analytics, share them for advertising audiences, use advertising or cross-site tracking, retarget visitors or build third-party advertising audiences. We do not match identities across unrelated services or use visit data for unrelated profiling. Providers are not authorised to use the LynkHUB visitor identifier for unrelated advertising.
Our Privacy Policy describes provider processing, security, transfers, retention and applicable rights. Material changes to optional processing require appropriate notice and renewed consent where required.
