    Hello,
    I’m working on GDPR compliance for my site and hope you can help on a checkbox issue. Do you know how I can change the checkbox to sign up to the (Mailchimp) newsletter, so it’s not ticked by default here I can’t seem to control where this setting is controlled. The checkbox also appears on the basket page. It’s a Contact Form 7 plugin form, but that text and the checkbox seem to have come from somewhere else.
    The text accompanying the checkbox seems to be pulled from a central source for these two pages, as if I remove my custom text after [mc4wp_checkbox] on the contact form, it replaces it with the same text as seen on the checkout page. I don’t know where this default text comes from. I assume the default ticked checkbox belongs to this somewhere? Could it be from MailChimp, or MailChimp for Woocommerce? I can’t find it in the settings for these though, or indeed Contact Form 7.
    Equally, I can’t find where or how I added the newsletter sign up box and sign up text to the basket page. Are you able to help please? For GDPR compliance, I need to change to be not ticked by default asap, so I don’t end up with sign ups that didn’t explicitly request being part of my newsletter list.

    Thanks so much, Anna

    Hello Anna,

    The checkbox at https://www.chalkandmoss.com/contact/ is added by our plugin. To make it unchecked by default, you will need to change the integration settings by logging into your WordPress backend and then go to the “MailChimp for WP > Integration” menu and click on “Contact Form 7”. From this page, you should be able to control the checkbox text and other options.

    I hope that answers your query. Let us know if you have any further questions.
