All visits to Calendly.com are met with the following boilerplate message:

  > We respect your personal privacy
  >
  > We and our third party partners use cookies and other tracking technologies to provide a proactive support experience, enhance site navigation, analyze site usage, and assist in our marketing efforts.
  >
  > Learn more
And, "Learn more" is linked to https://calendly.com/privacy - so, yes, but it may be possible that by that point you're already being tracked.

I suppose it's an interesting question that needs a definitive answer: by clicking on a link to a website, are you thereby implicitly agreeing to the site's terms and conditions before you've had a chance to review them, at least until you've had the opportunity to review them and then decide to discontinue using that site or not?

Is a brick-and-mortar business obligated to present you with a copy of their business policies _before_ you enter their establishment? No. You are free to inquire before patronizing their business, and they are free to inform you of them after-the-fact. I would expect that a website should be treated similarly: by visiting the site, until you choose to discontinue using the site, you are agreeing to the site's terms and conditions, sight-unseen, whatever they may be.
