[GDPR] How to enable consent checkbox in the form

GDPR is a significant change in data protection regulation in the EU and replaces the existing legal framework (the Data Protection Directive and the various member state laws). It will come into effect on May 25, 2018. Rainmaker is fully committed to achieving and upholding ongoing compliance with GDPR prior to the effective date.

To ensure that the subscription form provided within Rainmaker is compliant to GDPR, we have provided a 'consent seeking' checkbox in each of our forms.

This article explains how to enable consent checkbox within the subscription form provided by Rainmaker.
