We have introduced a comprehensive cookie consent management system in PeopleXD to ensure full compliance with EU and UK GDPR regulations. This feature gives users transparent control over their cookie preferences while maintaining compliance with data protection requirements.
For the software to run correctly, you must accept all essential cookies.
To retain access to the Access Digital Assistant, you must enable the Intercom functional cookie.
📌Note: You will be prompted to refresh your cookie options every 180 days or whenever we add or remove cookies from our list of vendors.
If you accidentally reject a cookie option, don’t worry, you can reselect it by following the steps below. The process varies depending on whether you use a standalone PeopleXD system or access it via Access Evo.
