List of strictly necessary cookies installed by Squarespace

We use IP anonymization. This feature in Analytics sets the last octet of IPv4 user IP addresses and the last 80 bits of IPv6 addresses to zeros in memory shortly after being sent to Google Analytics. The full IP address is never written to disk in this case. Geographic dimensions are later derived from anonymized IP addresses.
