Overview

The Appointive platform (appointive.net) uses cookies to keep you securely signed in and protect your account. With your consent, it also uses cookies to understand how the app is used and remember your preferences.

Preference cookies (optional)

The app includes a preference consent category for cookies that remember display and interaction choices. This category is reserved for now, so no preference cookies are actively set. The consent flag is recorded so that any future preference features only activate for users who have already consented. This page will be updated when any preference cookies go live.

Analytics cookies (optional)

With your consent, the app loads analytics tools to show which features are used most, where users encounter friction, and how to improve the experience. Analytics scripts and their cookies are only loaded after you consent. You can withdraw this consent at any time.

Your choices

  • Essential cookies are always on: they keep your account secure.
  • Preference and analytics cookies are off until you accept them.
  • You can change your preference at any time using the controls below.
  • You can also clear cookies at any time through your browser settings, which will sign you out.

Manage your preferences

Use this section to review or change your cookie preferences. Essential cookies stay enabled because they are required for the app to work.
