Meeting Bookings via HubSpot
When you book a meeting through our website, we use HubSpot’s Meetings tool. This service is provided by HubSpot, Inc. and is delivered via an embedded form on our website.
Use of Google reCAPTCHA

As a result, when you book a meeting, cookies may be set by HubSpot and Google on their respective domains (for example, cookies such as AEC, SOCS, _GRECAPTCHA, DV, NID, or __Secure-ENID).
These cookies are not placed directly by our website (kindred.co) but are necessary for the security and functioning of the meeting booking form.
