    How to Add a Cookie Policy to Squarespace

    From scan to full compliance in four steps.

    1

    Scan Your Site

    Run PolicyForge's free cookie scanner on your Squarespace site to confirm which cookies and trackers it sets.

    2

    Generate Your Policy

    Use PolicyForge to create a GDPR/CCPA-compliant cookie policy covering Squarespace's ss_* analytics cookies and your integrations.

    3

    Add the Page in Squarespace

    Go to Pages → add a Blank Page (e.g. "Cookie Policy"), paste your policy into a text block, and link it in your footer navigation.

    4

    Configure Consent

    Enable Squarespace's banner under Settings → Cookies & Visitor Data, or inject PolicyForge's banner via Settings → Advanced → Code Injection for category-level consent and Consent Mode v2.

    Setting up the consent side? Follow the Squarespace consent banner install guide.
