# Squarespace

> Add a GDPR & CCPA compliant cookie consent banner to your Squarespace site with CookieChimp. Install via Header Code Injection.

Add a GDPR, ePrivacy and CCPA compliant [cookie consent banner](/why-use-a-cmp) to your Squarespace site. CookieChimp installs through Squarespace's built-in Code Injection — no theme edits required.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Copy your CookieChimp snippet">

  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the snippet via Code Injection">
    1. Log into your Squarespace dashboard.
    2. Navigate to **Website → Pages** in the main menu.
    3. Expand the **Utilities** (or **Website Tools**) section and select **Code Injection**.
    4. Paste the CookieChimp snippet into the **Header** section. This ensures the script loads in the `<head>` of every page.
    5. Click **Save** at the top of the page.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Disable Squarespace's built-in cookie banner">
    Squarespace has a built-in cookie banner that will conflict with CookieChimp. Turn it off:

    1. Go to **Settings → Cookies & Visitor Data**.
    2. Disable the Squarespace **Cookie Banner**.

    You'll now use CookieChimp as your single source of consent.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Block scripts & cookies">

    <Tip>
      Common third-party tools on Squarespace include Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and chat widgets — these typically belong to the `analytics` or `marketing` categories. If you add them via Code Injection or Code blocks, update them to use `type="text/plain"` and a `data-category` attribute.

## Troubleshooting

* Make sure your Squarespace domain (including any custom domain you've connected) is allowed in the **Account Settings** in your CookieChimp dashboard.
* Some Squarespace plans (notably the Personal plan) do not support Code Injection. You'll need the Business plan or higher to use CookieChimp.
* Code Injection is **only applied on the live site** — it will not run inside the Squarespace editor preview.
