Sorry, what do you mean? Not allowed how?
When you open the link from the email it has the email address inside of the URL, which is a personal identifier and not allowed under GDOR 😉
Do you have a reference? What exactly is the issue here? By definition the email address is already included in the email to
field, so is the issue the fact that it's being included in the link?
Yes it is just the fact that the email is in the URL. Here is a great article: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6389382?hl=en-GB
OK, I get the issue now. The risk is leaking the URLs to a third-party through tracking? If that's the worry, we don't use any analytics so I think we're ok on that front. I'm not sure that alone makes it an issue with the GDPR though?
The emails are passed to enable prefilling the log in form to save time, I'll see if there's any other way to do it that doesn't require passing the email in the URL.
