Squarespace privacy policy — professional & hosted

Squarespace requirements

Squarespace commerce and marketing sites require a privacy policy describing cookies, email campaigns, and customer accounts. Lead ads and payment processors often ask for a direct policy URL rather than your homepage. A hosted link satisfies those fields while you keep designing on Squarespace.

What Squarespace checks before listing

• •Squarespace does not write your privacy policy: its help says it cannot advise on the content of a privacy or cookie policy page, and that cookie notice requirements vary with your location and cookie use.
• •To link a policy from the cookie banner, create a page, name it Privacy Policy or Cookie Policy, add your text, then in the Cookies & Data Privacy panel switch on Cookie banner and add the page link in the banner text field.
• •Squarespace suggests sharing policies from the footer as text or links to Not Linked pages, so they are reachable from almost any page; stores can also add privacy policies to the checkout page, where they open in a pop-up.
• •If you have visitors from the EU or UK, Squarespace notes that a dedicated cookie policy is often a legal requirement and that visitors' GDPR rights should be explained in it.
