Comment (by patricedefago):

 Hi @allendav ,

 Thanks for explain that and sorry for my bad ticket.

 Effectively it's a misunderstanding what is for this checkbox.

 But that doesn't take away the fact that you need a checkbox for the
 consent of data storage on the site.

 Best regard.

 Patrice

 > This is referring to the logged-out commentor prompt "Save my name,
 email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment." and opt-
 in checkbox.
 >
 > But, as I understand it, @patricedefago is questioning whether
 commenting itself, logged out or otherwise, should require explicit opt-in
 consent from EU based commentors BEFORE allowing the comment to be sent,
 which wasn't the original intention of the logged-out commentor-prompt
 (that prompt was to safeguard the user's privacy if, for example, they
 were using a public computer to comment.)
 >
 > It is worth noting that we have an open ticket for consent logging:
 #44043
 >
 > It is worth nothing that comments can be edited, and that as of 4.9.6
 can be exported and anonymized on request.
