About WP Comment Policy Checkbox

This plugin adds a checkbox to the comment forms on your WordPress site, allowing users to give consent to your privacy policy. The consent is then stored in the database and can be exported or erased using WordPress's Personal Data functions. Please note that this plugin may not work correctly with all themes, and additional CSS may be required for proper display.
