    I use the optional (second) check box for subscribing to my newsletter. But this requires a double opt-in according to the DSGVO (GDPR). Once the user checked it and submited the form, he should receive a second email to confirm his subscription. Why is this missing? Can you add this?

    Hi,

    The first opt-in takes place when the download form is submitted. You can choose to only import subscribers after a second opt-in (which takes place during clicking the download link in the email), whereby it is confirmed that the subscriber is actually the owner of that email address that has been used during the first opt-in. If you are using the premium Mailchimp integration, it automatically uses a double opt-in mechanism.

    For anyone who is confused, there’s no requirement under GDPR to have a double opt-in process, but it may differ per country whether this is mandatory.

    Kind regards,
