All of these things are possible with our plugin as it provides a checkbox and a text field where you can include this language. I don’t understand why you would need multiple text fields – you can use as many paragraphs as you want
The checkbox alone is where the marketer references the (unbundled) channels they’ll contact the user with (in this case – email). But then there’s also a GDPR requirement to mention that they can unsubscribe at any time (i.e the right to be forgotten) and clearly specify what we’re planning to do with their information (send them weekly offers, marketing material etc’).
Naturally, it’s a little hard to fit all of that in one tiny checkbox field.
You can take a look at what Mailchimp did to get a better idea of what I mean. They added several key elements for GDPR:
1. The checkbox field
2. A description field (above the checkbox) where you clarify what you’ll use their information for
3. A Legal text field (below the checkbox) to clarify the terms of service (and link to it as needed)
The checkbox field alone looks like a partial solution and doesn’t seem to comply with GDPR fully.
Did you enter a value for the Merge Field Opt-in Value? (The second input field shown on this screenshot: https://ps.w.org/eu-opt-in-compliance-for-mailchimp/assets/screenshot-1.png?rev=1872070).
I haven’t. That’s probably why it didn’t work. The placeholder (that says “Opted in”) made me think that it has that as a default value…
