Email and Marketing Consents

The 'Emails and Marketing' page displays a number of user consents for receiving newsletters and communications from the Guardian. The options and user settings are fetched from the idapi endpoints /newsletters and /consents. This is combined with the product holdings the user has from the mdapi me/mma and mpapi mobile-subscriptions endpoints to determine which product specific consents to show. These consents are displayed under the heading 'Supporter exclusive'. Each consent can be toggled which triggers an API request to update that consent in the datastore.

The consents listed under 'Supporter exclusive' are also known as 'Soft Opt Ins' because the user is opted in to them when purchasing a product. A list of these IDs can be found in /shared/softOptInIDs.ts. The config of which products correspond to which consents is stored in the softOptInIDs property on each Product Type in /shared/productTypes.ts and for mobile subscriptions in /shared/mpapiResponse.ts.
