Overview
Cookie notices are a compliance requirement for most sites using analytics or advertising, but the default options rarely match the rest of your design. The Cookie Banner Widget from Common Ninja displays a clear, GDPR-ready cookie notice on your Squarespace site, with flexible links to your privacy policy, button styles that match your brand, and controls for colours, fonts, and spacing. It installs on Squarespace 7.1 with a single embed code, and edits made in the widget editor apply to the live site automatically.
If your Squarespace site runs analytics, advertising pixels, or embedded third-party tools, visitors in the EU and UK expect a clear cookie notice. Squarespace ships a basic banner, but it offers limited control over wording, layout, and styling. The Cookie Banner Widget fills that gap: you write the notice, link your privacy policy, and style the banner and buttons so the whole thing reads as part of your site rather than a bolted-on afterthought.
Setup is a single embed code on Squarespace 7.1, and changes made in the Common Ninja editor appear on the live site without reinstalling. The banner scales for desktop, tablet, and mobile so the buttons stay easy to tap.
Two honest caveats. First, if the built-in Squarespace banner already covers your needs, you may not need a widget at all. Second, a notice banner handles disclosure; if you need granular consent categories that actually gate scripts, look at a dedicated consent management platform.

FAQs
FAQs
What does the Cookie Banner Widget do?
It displays a clear cookie notice on your Squarespace site explaining how your site uses cookies, collects acknowledgement from visitors, and links to your privacy policy. You control the wording, layout, colours, fonts, and button styles.
How is it different from Squarespace's built-in cookie banner?
Squarespace includes a basic cookie banner under Settings, but it offers limited control over wording, layout, and styling. This widget gives you far more say over how the notice looks and reads, so it feels like part of your site rather than an afterthought.
Do I need coding knowledge to install it?
No. You copy a single embed code from Common Ninja's editor and paste it into your Squarespace 7.1 site. Changes made in the editor afterwards appear on the live site automatically.
Does it make my site GDPR compliant?
It covers the disclosure part: telling visitors about cookie usage and pointing them to your privacy policy. Full compliance depends on what cookies your site actually sets and how consent gates them. Sites with complex consent requirements may need a dedicated consent management platform.
Will it work on mobile?
Yes. The banner scales for desktop, tablet, and phone, keeping the notice readable and the buttons easy to tap on smaller screens.
Is the Cookie Banner Widget free?
Common Ninja offers a free plan with usage limits and branding. Paid plans remove the branding and unlock more customisation; check the Common Ninja site for current pricing.
