Email Double Opt-in

GDPR-compliant double opt-in for email collection with verification and consent tracking.

v1.9.1

If you collect email addresses — newsletter signups, contact forms, account registration — double opt-in protects you legally and improves your list quality. This plugin adds email verification to any collection point on your site.

When someone enters their email, they get a verification email with a confirmation link. Until they click it, they're not on your list. This is a legal requirement under GDPR, the Australian Privacy Act's APP guidelines, and most email marketing platforms' terms of service.

The plugin tracks consent timestamps, verification status, and opt-in source. If someone asks "when did I consent?", you have the answer with a timestamp and the exact page they signed up on. That's the level of record-keeping regulators expect.
