Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 17, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Above The Fold(“Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://goabovethefold.com(“Website”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Above The Fold) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track visitor behaviour, support live chat, and process contact form submissions through our marketing and CRM provider, HubSpot, and to understand site traffic and usage through Google Analytics. This is described in more detail below.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in your browser controls, or via any cookie consent banner presented on this Website. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
The specific types of cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in the table below:
