Cookie Policy

Effective Date: July 15, 2026

This Cookie Policy describes how Squarespace uses cookies and similar technologies to provide, customize, evaluate, improve, promote and protect our Services. Note that any capitalized terms not defined in this Cookie Policy have the meanings set forth in our Privacy Policy. If you have any comments or questions about this Cookie Policy, feel free to contact us at privacy@squarespace.com.

Cookies. Cookies are text or other files stored on or retrieved from your browser or device when you visit a website. They serve a variety of functions, like enabling us to remember certain information you provide to us as you navigate between pages on the Services. When you visit our Services, both first party and third party cookies may be placed on your browser or device. Our Services may require you to affirmatively consent to certain cookies where that’s required or enable you to opt-out of certain cookies where that’s required. We use cookies on our Services for the following purposes:

• Authentication, Security and Other Required Purposes. Cookies help us verify your account and device and determine when you’re logged in. We also use cookies to help secure our Services, remember your cookie consent preferences and provide you with the Services.
• Functional Purposes:
  • Customization. Cookies help us provide you with your desired experience by remembering the choices you’ve made on our Services, such as your language preferences.
  • Performance And Analytics. Cookies help us analyze how the Services are being accessed and used, and enable us to track performance of the Services. For example, we use cookies to determine if you viewed a page or section of a page.
  • Third Party Functionality. Cookies allow us to provide you additional functionality from or via third parties. Third party functionality integrated with our Services may use cookies as part of that integration, including for example to help you sign into their services and connect your use of their Services to your use of our Services. Any such third party cookie usage is governed by the policy of the third party placing the cookie.
• Advertising Purposes. We partner with third party publishers, advertising networks and other vendors to manage our ads on other sites. These third party partners may set cookies on your browser or device to gather information about your activities on the Services and other sites you visit, in order to show you or exclude you from being shown Squarespace ads. For example, if you visit Squarespace and also use a social media platform, you may see a Squarespace ad on that social media platform. If you disable these cookies, you may still see our ads on third party websites or apps, but they may be less relevant to you.

Opting Out. You can set your browser to not accept cookies, but this may limit your ability to use the Services.

• We do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals.
• Do Not Track is a different privacy mechanism than the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal which is a browser-based control that indicates whether you would like to opt out of processing of your personal information for online behavioral advertising purposes. If you are a resident of a US state and you visit our Services using a GPC-enabled browser, we recognize GPC and will opt your browser out of our third party partners’ advertising cookies. Please note that this opt-out may only apply to the browser you use to send the GPC signal.
• Further, if you are a resident of a US state, you may also opt out of advertising cookies on our Services by clicking on the “Your Privacy Choices” link in the footer. If you are located in the European Region, Brazil and other jurisdictions, you can manage your cookie settings using the “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer.
• You can also opt out of receiving interest-based ads from certain ad networks here (or if located in the European Union, here).

Please note that your preferences may only apply to the browser and device you use to submit your preferences. You may need to make your choices on each browser and device where you want your choices to apply. Your choices may also be stored using cookies. If you clear your cookies, you may need to make your choices again. Please note that we do not maintain or control the third party opt-out tools linked above and are not responsible for their operation.

Third Party Cookies. First party cookies are usually those placed directly by us or from our website domain. Third party cookies are usually those placed by our vendors or business partners. Both types of cookies allow us or our vendors or business partners to access information about your browser, device and/or visit. While some of our cookies are first party cookies placed by Squarespace or are third party cookies placed by and from third party services, we also directly place and manage some third party cookies on our Services. We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) to manage some of these third party cookies. Examples of third party cookies that Squarespace places and manages via GTM include Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel.

Cookies on Customer Sites. For information about the cookies used by our Customers on the browsers or devices of visitors to their sites created using, and hosted on, our Services, click here.

Updates. We will update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, our business operations or any other reason we determine is necessary or appropriate. When we make changes, we’ll update the “Effective Date” at the top of the Cookie Policy and post it on our sites. We encourage you to check back periodically to review this Cookie Policy for any changes since your last visit.
