Calendly embeds will display a cookie banner
If you’ve embedded Calendly on your website, the cookie banner appears by default to ensure compliance with global privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA.
Hiding the cookie banner in your Calendly embed
You can hide the cookie banner when embedding Calendly on your website. However, if you do, your site must manage customer preferences to stay compliant with privacy laws. Calendly will still use cookies, so we recommend preventing Calendly from loading unless users opt into performance cookies.
How to hide the cookie banner on your existing embed code:
- If you've already embedded Calendly on your website, access your Calendly embed code from the HTML editor on your site.
- In your embed code, add the following parameter to your Calendly link:
hide_gdpr_banner=1
The final code will look something like this:
<div class="calendly-inline-widget" data-url="https://calendly.com/YOUR_EVENT?hide_gdpr_banner=1" style="min-width:320px;height:630px;"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="https://assets.calendly.com/assets/external/widget.js"></script>
