Just looking at Privacy_XH.
Is it necessary to have two actions on the agreement ie tick then continue?

Surely we only need one button saying "Agree" (or similar)

I have to admit that this is rather cumbersome, but at least some jurisdictions may require the explicitness (the German jurisdiction is quite picky, for instance). And I had originally taken this design from https://ico.org.uk/ – where it has been changed later to an opt-in version, which is now JS only (so there's no chance to opt-out, if the JS doesn't work for whatever reason).

Anyhow, you can change it easily by replacing these lines with the following (untested, though):

Thanks Christoph.
That works fine and is much better

This line causes a HTML validation error.
According to here action is not required on HTML5 if its not going anywhere

I've edited it in privacy.php and the error goes.

A bit pedantic I know

Code: Select all

<form id="privacy" name="privacy" action="" method="post">

IIRC, the action attribute was required in HTML 4.01, so I put it in back then. Of course, it doesn't serve any useful purpose anymore. Thanks!
