Under laws like the GDPR, you need freely given consent from users before data collection begins. You can meet this guideline by linking to your privacy policy in a pop-up banner that appears as soon as users enter your website or app.
Provide a checkbox for users to select if they’ve read and agree to your privacy policy, and include a live link to the agreement. Asking for active user agreement in this way is known as clickwrap consent.
Website Footer
If you look at the footer of any major website, you’re going to find a link to their privacy policy. It’s the most popular place to link to your privacy agreement for a reason.
Your users can always access the links you post in your website footer, no matter what page they end up on, which is important if your company needs to comply with data privacy laws like the CCPA and the GDPR.
