How to Add a Cookie Banner to Your Squarespace Website Using Consentik

Overview

Adding a cookie consent banner to your Squarespace site helps you comply with privacy regulations (like GDPR) — and shows transparency to your visitors about cookie usage. This guide walks through creating a Consentik banner, adding it to your site, and verifying installation.

Step 1 — Create and Configure Your Consentik Cookie Banner

1. Go to Consentik’s registration page and create an account.
2. Once registered, add your website’s domain and follow the onboarding steps.
3. During onboarding, configure the banner settings:

• • Choose the banner type (e.g. Lite, Basic, or Advanced).
  • Select the regulation coverage (e.g. enable for all countries or limit to certain regions).

4. At the end of onboarding, Consentik will generate a unique installation code for your banner. Copy this code (e.g. using a provided “Copy” button).

Step 2 — Add the Consentik Code to Your Squarespace Site

1. Log in to your Squarespace Dashboard.
2. In the left-hand menu, navigate to the Website (or Settings) section.
3. Go to Marketing Tools → Custom Code → Code Injection.

1. Paste the installation code from Consentik into the Header input box.
2. Save your changes.

Step 3 — Verify the Banner Installation

1. Return to Consentik’s setup screen.
2. Click the Verify button.
3. Consentik will check if the banner is properly installed and active on your website.

If verification succeeds, the consent banner should now be live on your site.

Notes & Best Practices

• Even though customization options are possible, make sure your banner stays clear and easy to read.
• If your site receives visitors from regions with strict privacy laws, ensure consent options (Accept, Decline, Manage) are clearly presented.
• After installation, test the banner — ideally in an incognito/private browser window — to confirm it displays correctly for new visitors.
