Essential cookies keep this site and its forms working. Analytics and advertising cookies stay off until you opt in.
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Some are needed for the site to work. Others, such as analytics, only run if you allow them. This page also covers similar storage, including the choice we keep in your browser.
This policy is a plain-English summary of what this site sets today. Have it checked by someone qualified before you rely on it.

Calendly (calendly.com) |

We also keep a copy of your choice in the browser under the key hsx-consent so the tag can read it before the page finishes loading. That is storage on your device, not an advertising cookie.
Non-essential cookies stay off until you choose Accept all, or turn Analytics or Marketing on under Manage. Reject non-essential stores that choice and does not grant analytics or marketing storage.
You can change the choice at any time with Cookie settings, in the footer and on this page, or by clearing cookies in your browser. Clearing cookies also clears the remembered choice, so the banner shows again.
Google Consent Mode stays on denied for analytics and ads storage until you allow them. The analytics tag can still send a cookieless ping. It does not set _ga cookies while storage is denied.
