We have recently introduced a new soft opt-in marketing feature for the booking widget. This privacy compliant option pre-ticks the venue level marketing consent box, allowing customers to opt out by unticking it, rather than opting in. Following ICO guidance, only venue level marketing will use this soft opt-in setting, while group-level marketing will still require manual customer consent. Businesses can review or update their opt-in levels, but any changes made will apply across all linked diaries.
Watch the video tutorial below to enable your soft opt-in or follow the steps provided.
