Cookie Policy
Last updated: 11 November 2026
Cookie preferences are unavailable right now
Our cookie preference controls could not be loaded. This can happen if a browser extension, privacy setting or network blocks them. Google Analytics, HubSpot tracking cookies and the LinkedIn Insight Tag only load after you have given consent through those controls, so they stay off while the controls are unavailable.
You can review how we use cookies below, try again later, or delete and block cookies in your browser: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge (links open in a new tab).
This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on atlanticusdigital.com and how you can control them. For how we handle personal information generally, see our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as scripts, tags and tracking pixels, can read or send information from your device. This policy covers both.
2. Your choices
When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept all cookies, decline optional cookies, or choose by category. Optional cookies stay off until you choose. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” in the website footer. If the cookie settings cannot open, for example because a browser extension blocks them, our optional Google Analytics and advertising tools stay off.
When you withdraw consent, the page reloads and our optional tools stop. We remove the Google Analytics cookies set on our website. Other cookies already stored on your device, including any that LinkedIn has set on linkedin.com, may remain until they expire or you delete them in your browser settings; our website cannot remove cookies set on linkedin.com. While the page reloads, LinkedIn may still receive a record of your click on the “Save” button and of leaving the page.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may stop parts of the website, including our forms, from working.
3. Categories we use
Necessary. Needed for the website to work and to keep it secure. These cannot be switched off in our cookie banner. They remember your cookie choices and protect our forms from spam and abuse. Google reCAPTCHA sets its security cookie when a page with one of our forms opens, before you make a choice.
Analytics. Help us understand how the website is used, for example which pages are popular. We use Google Analytics and HubSpot tracking cookies, only if you allow Analytics cookies. Separately, HubSpot records basic page views without cookies in all cases, as described in section 6 of our Privacy Policy.
Functionality. Enable embedded videos and media from providers such as YouTube and Vidyard. These load only if you allow Functionality cookies or choose to load an individual item. YouTube videos use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode.
Advertising. If you allow Advertising cookies, HubSpot’s advertising script loads the LinkedIn Insight Tag. We do not run LinkedIn advertising, retargeting or conversion tracking, and our website does not load Google Ads tags.
