How can I require Customer consent for data privacy and marketing?

To enable Customer consent checkboxes for data privacy and marketing, choose Account > Privacy

These Customer consent checkboxes have been implemented in order to allow you the flexibility to comply with privacy regulations in your region.

Once enabled, these checkboxes will appear when a Customer creates an account via your mini-site, website widget or if an account is created for a Customer internally.

The Privacy Consent when enabled is Mandatory. This means that it will not be possible to create an account for a Customer, if this checkbox is not selected.
