Yes, and you should keep it in the fridge. Just make sure you take it out two to three hours prior to use so it's at room temperature.

If you do keep it in the fridge, be absolutely sure the cap is on TIGHT. Moisture is what makes this stuff work so well, and it will absorb the moisture from that environment if not tightly sealed.

I never put my CA glue in the fridge...holds up for years in my garage at + 10 to 15 degrees celsius!
But a good thing for long time storage (months) is to throw away the cap when you have opened the bottle! That way the tip doesn't get clogged so easily.
I use "Flash" CA glue and accelerator for most of my building.
