This is actually a violation of MailChimp's TOS. I encourage others *not* to do this.

And in a lot of countries that is called spamming, and has been for years.
For those who are not aware: the definition Mailchimp uses of Spam is a pretty common one; it's on the Spamhaus website: https://www.spamhaus.org/consumer/definition/
Spam is bulk, unsolicited email.
Easy peasy. Govern yourselves accordingly!
Thank you Delia.
:yes:
If you are doing this kind of changes to a site you should have a tool to compare. I use winmerge. Opens your working file and the one you want to replace. You merge them. Winmerge actually shows you which lines have changed and easy to move stuff to the final file you want to upload. This is sort of a requirement for something like zen-cart. You get a list of files that change. You load those into your merge program, then put the originals next to each page and you got it.
Good luck
I've used Ryk's zipped file on page 6 on my website... Once installed it works fine but if people don't tick the terms conditions button it does not register under GDPR Tools , they literally have to read and accept , surely a tick should also work to say they have read them..
I've tried to read though post but there have been so many different things posted, so if there is a answer I am sorry
If they sign up with the privacy turned on, they have to accept it and it gets recorded. If it is an old customer, all they have to do is accept the terms and conditions when they check out. If they don't read the terms & conditions (surprise), they never see the link to the privacy page. If they don't read the privacy page and accept it there, it never happens. So the freebie mod is not as fully done as I would want either. Still grateful that JSWeb gave us this much.
Hi thanks for answer
Yes the privacy is turned on and and shows on both sections of FEC but you can still sign up without having to tick the button ..So I am assuming there is a issue with my installation as it worked before the upgrade
If you have FEC installed then all bets are off.
True on both counts, much easier to modify/build on what JSWeb have donated than start with a blank page. Thanks to them.Quote:

Functionally I added:
- make existing customers accept privacy on next login (or log them out if they don't as they cannot buy!)
- added consent (on checkout_success) to receive automatic emails post-order to get them to comment. With option to remove consent in My Account.
plus various changes to make things more to my taste code-wise.
I just made the accept privacy a required field for create account. No consent=no account.
