Cookie Settings (built into Squarespace)
Found in Settings → Cookie and Data Privacy
Adds a cookie banner to your site with accept/decline options; customizable wording and layout
Turning off cookie tracking means Squarespace analytics won't work as well
Once set, a small "Manage Cookies" tab lives on your site so visitors can update their preferences anytime
Privacy Policies (Termageddon — recommended third-party service)
$119/year subscription; auto-updates when laws change
You fill out a questionnaire about your business → they generate the legal code → gets embedded in your site as a code block
Covers: Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Disclaimer, and Terms of Service
Also includes their own cookie consent popup (less configurable than Squarespace's but functional)
Requires Squarespace Core plan to implement
Melanie can set it up for you for a $50 fee — add her as a user on your Termageddon account and she'll embed the code and link it in your footer
⭐ Key points:
Privacy policies protect you legally — not your images, but your business practices
Cookie popup and privacy policy are two separate things — you can have one without the other
E-commerce sellers especially should invest in proper privacy policies
A free cookie policy generator is also linked in the library for those who don't qualify for Termageddon’s cookie tool.
