Change newsletter optout to optin
Closed, ResolvedPublic2 Estimated Story Points

Description

our lawyers and internal data security collegue advised us to change the newsletter optin procedure. We are being told that users need to optin explicitly (as we used to have until 2022). Please be aware that we will talk about this change on the management level and it might be changed again later on. But that might take a few weeks. For now, we are told to change it asap.

If ok, I would change the text directly in the json whenever the change is on test.
