Does Squarespace Have a Cookie Policy?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:12 am

Squarespace is a web hosting and design platform that allows users to create and maintain professional-looking websites without any coding knowledge. As a business, Squarespace is required to have a cookie policy in place in order to comply with data privacy laws. This policy outlines what cookies are used on the Squarespace platform and how they are used.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website. Cookies set by the website you are visiting are normally referred to as “first-party cookies”, while cookies set by other websites are called “third-party cookies”.

Squarespace uses both first and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are set by Squarespace and can be used to track things like whether you are logged in, what language you have selected, and any preferences you have set. Third-party cookies are set by other companies (such as Google Analytics) and allow Squarespace to track things like how you found the site and how you interact with the site.

The use of cookies is essential for the functioning of the Squarespace platform. However, we understand that some users may be concerned about having them on their computer. For this reason, we have put in place a number of measures to ensure that your privacy is respected and that only necessary information is collected.

In addition to our own first-party cookies, we also use a number of third-party services on our website. These services use their own cookies in order to track things like how you found the site and how you interact with the site. We have listed some of these services below along with links to their respective privacy policies:

Google Analytics: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
AdRoll: https://www.adrollgroup.com/privacy
Bing Ads: https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement
DoubleClick: https://support.com/adsense/answer/2839090?hl=en
We also use a number of other third-party services which may set cookies on your computer but which we do not specifically list here because they do not collect or store any personally identifiable information about you (e.g., Facebook pixels).

PRO TIP: Squarespace does not have a cookie policy. This means that any cookies placed on your computer by visiting Squarespace sites may not be governed by our privacy policy. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of all websites you visit before providing any personal information.

Conclusion

Yes, Squarespace has a cookie policy in place which outlines what cookies are used on their platform and how they are used.
