As of mid-March 2024, my conversions from Google Ads (almost 100% mobile traffic) have decreased dramatically. I tested the scheduling experience from an incognito window and found that the cookie banner takes up the entire screen on mobile and then makes it virtually impossible to scroll down to schedule. It’s a terrible user experience. Is there anything I can do?
Hey
- 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>
If you implement this URL parameter and notice that on mobile the embed is still showing the cookie banner then let me know and I’ll share another approach that could help you!
That makes a lot of sense! In this case I’d highly recommend embedding this onto a landing page to give you greater control. For GDPR, our own managed pages will display the cookie banner. Cookies are used to identify and authenticate users to the Calendly website and to save site login information for you. You can read up more information on cookies in the Calendly Privacy Policy.
You can read about our embed process here, and you’ll notice it is a fairly straight forward copy/paste process of the code we provide in-app. That should make implementing Calendly embeds a little easier! Let me know if I can help with anything
Hey
Our pop-up widget, or pop-up text are also great options! They will load the widget in a new module, which prevents the “sticking” that you described. I’d love to learn more about your scenario and help you get things working smoothly. To keep your information private, would you email me at support@calendly.com with a link to your website and we can take a look at things together?
