1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, enhance user experience, provide secure navigation, and gather basic web analytics information.

2. How We Use Cookies

Our website uses cookies provided by our web host, Squarespace, as well as third-party services, to support site functionality and understand how visitors interact with our content. We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Essential & Functional Cookies (Required): These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core site navigation, secure form submissions (such as resource inquiries and career forms), and maintain system stability. These cookies cannot be switched off in our systems.

  • Analytics & Performance Cookies: Provided through Squarespace Analytics, these cookies collect anonymous, aggregated data on how visitors use our site—such as which pages are visited most often, how long users stay on a page, and how visitors arrive at our site. This helps us improve our content, menu structures, and resource accessibility for local families and educators.

3. Third-Party Cookies

When you click on external links on our site—such as links to Indeed (for job applications), WeeCycle, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, Bright by Text, or the Colorado Department of Early Childhood (CDEC)—these external third-party sites may place their own cookies on your device. ECCSLV does not control or manage third-party cookies. We encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.
