Hemingway Rewritten comment consent checkbox
-
Hi,
I have a self-hosted blog/wordpress.org with the Hemingway Rewritten theme.
I was told it is a theme by Automattic, so I should ask in this forum.
Case is the comment consent checkbox is missing from the comments form.
Will this be added to the theme?
Many thanks in advance.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
This has nothing to do with your theme.
You are using Jetpack comments on your site, not the Core software’s built-in comments, and the consent checkbox does not display for Jetpack comments.
You likely don’t need to add a checkbox like this to your comment or contact forms.
There are a few valid ways to be transparent and compliant about cookies that a site uses to enable its features, like the comment form. The way we chose is to include information about the cookies we use in Jetpack (including this one) in our cookie policy which you can read here.
If you want to alert users to the use of these kinds of cookies on your site, you can do that using the cookie and consent tools that we’ve recently added to Jetpack:
For all sites that have activated our Akismet plugin, we’re now including the option to **Display a privacy notice under your comment forms.** This is included for all sites with any Akismet plan that are running the most recent version of that plugin.
If you’d prefer to include one and aren’t using Akismet, I would recommend that you deactivate Jetpack’s Comment form. You can do this at Jetpack → Settings → Discussion in your dashboard. Your site will then display the default WordPress comment form again, which now includes a checkbox.
Finally, we have also added privacy information to the bottom of the support document for every Jetpack feature. You can read the details for Comments here:
