Stay compliant with privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA by adjusting your cookie preferences. Learn how users and invitees can manage cookies, and how to control the cookie banner on your website. 

Calendly gives both users and invitees control over their cookie preferences. 

As a Calendly user

  1. Open Settings PrivacyCookies.
  2. Select Manage cookies.

As an invitee

  1. Scroll to the bottom of the booking page. 
  2. Select Cookie settings.
  3. Choose your cookie preferences.

Invitees will see a banner on your booking page that says:

"We use cookies and similar technologies to improve and personalize your experience, to understand website interactions (including clicks, cursor movement and screen recordings), and for marketing.

By default, Calendly shows a cookie banner on embedded pages. This helps meet global privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA.

You can hide the cookie banner in your website embed. If you do, make sure your site manages customer cookie preferences to stay compliant. Calendly uses cookies even if the banner is hidden. To stay compliant, wait to load Calendly until users accept performance cookies.
