This is great. It will help drive traffic to the site, create content for the site, and increase engagement. MailChimp is pretty good too. I can help set that up. I have one tiny nagging question though... I don't recall doing any GDPR compliance stuff on the site, so I'm wondering what kind of EULA or popup thing we might need for the cookies and emails that come along with this feature. Did anyone get blessed with this task recently and know what needs to be done?
