FAQs

Is the Privacy Checkbox field compliant with GDPR consent requirements?

No, at this time the Privacy Checkbox field does not pass any data with the lead, so it does not meet GDPR consent requirements.

If your ESP supports Field Mapping, we recommend adding a custom checkbox field configured to capture consent. Alternatively, you can use our Form Embed block to add a custom HTML form to your campaign that contains all required fields.

How can I customize the style of the checkbox using CSS?

You can use Custom CSS to control the styling of the checkbox field.

Use the following CSS to get started styling the checkbox field. This example will make sure the checkbox field stays at the top line if your privacy message spans multiple lines:

Which campaign types and templates support the privacy notice?

All campaign types and templates support the privacy notice.

Is the privacy notice checkbox optional or required?

You can make the checkbox required or optional by toggling the setting in Step 5 above.

OptinMonster has transformed our business. Before integrating their optins, our clients saw a 2% conversion rate from web traffic, which is slightly above the standard for their industry. With the integration of OptinMonster’s lightbox popup, exit-intent technology, split testing, and other tools, our client’s conversion rates soared by an unprecedented 500%. They attracted substantially more customers while spending less on digital advertising. Their success propelled them to the top of their markets, outperforming national chains and other medical spas with much bigger marketing budgets. Our client’s success in their market has distinguished us in our own. We are now one of the most sought-after marketing firms in the industry of aesthetic medicine. We know that the integration of OptinMonster, more than any other tool or marketing strategy, has supported this growth and achievement.

Through OptinMonster’s exit-intent popups, we have more than doubled our sales conversion rate. Best of all is the compound effect of using OptinMonster over a long period of time—more conversions mean more customers, which means more word of mouth.
