Cookies are small data files placed on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website. They help websites operate correctly, remember preferences and provide information about how visitors use the site.

We may also use similar technologies, including local storage. In this policy, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as “cookies”.

  • Keep the website secure and functioning correctly.

  • Remember your cookie choices and website preferences.

  • Understand how visitors find and use the website.

  • Improve the website’s performance and content.

  • Support embedded media, such as video, where applicable.

We do not use cookies to sell your personal information.

3. Types of cookies we use

Analytics and performance cookies

With your permission, Squarespace may place analytics cookies that help us understand website traffic, visitor numbers, referral sources and how people interact with different pages.

Functional and media cookies

Some website features may use cookies to remember preferences or provide embedded content.

For example, videos uploaded directly to Squarespace may use local storage to remember video-player preferences such as volume, playback speed and quality.

If we embed content from an external service, such as Vimeo or YouTube, that service may place its own cookies or collect information about your interaction with the content. Where possible, optional third-party content and cookies will remain disabled until you provide consent.

Marketing cookies

We do not currently use cookies for targeted advertising or behavioural profiling.

If we introduce advertising services, remarketing technology or social-media tracking pixels in the future, we will update this policy and request consent before those cookies are placed.

4. Your choices

When you first visit our website, you may be shown a cookie banner that allows you to:

  • Accept optional cookies.

  • Reject optional cookies.

  • Manage your cookie preferences.

Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required to provide the website and remember your choices.
