What we use cookies for
AD Appoint sets three first-party cookies. None of them are sold or shared, and AD Appoint sets no third-party advertising or tracking cookies today. This is also described in our Privacy Policy.

ada.session_token | Keeps you signed in. Set the moment you verify a sign-in code or Google account. | First-party, essential | Up to 30 days, or until you sign out |

A production deployment adds a __Secure- prefix to the session cookie; it's the same cookie with the same lifetime.
Choices
The session cookie is essential — AD Appoint can't keep you signed in without it. ada_loc and ada_seed are convenience cookies: you can block or delete them in your browser without losing access to your account, though search results may default to a fallback area and paging may reshuffle between visits.
