Hey guys,
anyone knows how to add the privacy acceptance checkbox on the NL management page?
Here on my dev page I have the newsletter form in the footer, including the privacy checkbox:
https://allgeier-se.seowerk.net/To conform to GDPR it must also be added to the newsletter profile/management page here, as the user can subscribe/unsubscribe on this page aswell:
Testprofile: https://allgeier-se.seowerk.net/de/newsletterverwaltung/?nm=profile&nk=1248-e8a039b15bHere in the settings Profile Page > Form the privacy field is missing:
wp-admin/admin.php?page=newsletter_profile_index&lang=allBest
HarryHi, it’s not clear why you need the privacy on the profile page. Consent is required when you collect the data, not when the subscriber manages its own data (usually).
When the subscriber access the profile page he already accepted your privacy. Or is the checkbox missing on a subscription form?
It is necessary because he could make a checkmark and subscribe to another list. Or unsubscribe and resubscribe. The double opt in is necessary only once, but the privacy agreement is necessary every time. At least German law / GDPR sees it that way.
Sorry, the link above doesn’t seem to work at the moment, here is the form at the bottom of the page:

HarryHi, actually the privacy checkbox cannot be added to the profile page. The act of entering that page, change the data and submit for the pure GDPR, is already a positive and clear act.
The privacy link is shown on that page (if the privacy url is configured).
To add a checkbox you should create a custom form, it’s a bit tricky but feasible.
But a custom form won’t show the subscribers’ data as you can see here:
https://allgeier-se.seowerk.net/de/newsletterverwaltung/?nm=profile&nk=1248-e8a039b15bIs there maybe a hook to change the Privacy link into a text (without checkbox)? If not I’ll just write some small JS.
But the custom form is the one on the left? Created with newsletter_profile and newsletter_profile_field shortcodes?
In a custom form you can add any kind of HTML between the shortcodes.
Left ist [newsletter_profile /]
Right side is custom:
[newsletter_form lists="1,2"]
[newsletter_field name="email"]
[newsletter_field name="first_name"]
[newsletter_field name="last_name"]
[newsletter_field name="lists"]
[newsletter_field name="list" number="1"]
[newsletter_field name="list" number="2"]
[/newsletter_form]Can you give me the link in the documentation for the newsletter_profile_field shortcodes?
Hi, on the left you have a profile form, standard, on the right you have the subscription form. You can add [newsletter_form_field name=”privacy”]
Yeah, I need a custom profile form, not the subscription form. I got it working on the left side now but the shortcode [newsletter_profile_field name="privacy"] doesn’t exist, it renders nothing.
[newsletter_profile]
[newsletter_profile_field name="email"]
[newsletter_profile_field name="first_name"]
[newsletter_profile_field name="last_name"]
[newsletter_profile_field name="lists"]
[newsletter_profile_field name="privacy"]Custom text here
[/newsletter_profile]Hi, there is no profile field named privacy. You can add a link to the privacy, like in the standard profile form.
I was reporting your custom subscription form was missing the privacy checkbox, that is mandatory (not really true but…) for GDPR.Ok, I’ll build it that way, guess that should be enough. This has been checked by 3 legal councils for our company btw, so I would be careful with recommendations regarding GDPR 😉
Ah one last thing – Stefano, do you know why the labels are not translated to English in this case:
https://allgeier-se.seowerk.net/en/newsletter-management/?nm=profile&nk=1248-e8a039b15bSource:
[newsletter_profile][newsletter_profile_field name="email"][newsletter_profile_field name="first_name"][newsletter_profile_field name="last_name"][newsletter_profile_field name="lists"][newsletter_profile_field name="privacy"]<small style=”line-height: 1;”>By submitting you agree that your data will be stored and processed to send out newsletters. Privacy Policy.</small>[/newsletter_profile]That’s ok, GDPR leaves the implementation to each company, and must be integrated with local laws. If you look at the forms on different (big) companies, you’ll find very different consent collection, and they all should be GDPR compliant.
Probably even different companies in your country apply the GDPR in different ways.
