🗓 Released 03 November 2026
✨ New! Privacy Consent and Marketing Consent in Contacts✨
Contacts now records Privacy Consent and Marketing Consent as two separate fields, each with the date and time it was given. Available from 03 November 2026.
🎯 Why This Matters
Until now, Contacts kept a single consent, with a status and a date but no time. It could not tell a contact's agreement to your privacy policy apart from their agreement to receive marketing.
With this release, you can record what each contact agreed to, and exactly when.
✅ What's new
Each consent has its own status, and the date and time it was given. You can see and filter both in the Data Privacy Manager and the Contacts manager, update them in the Manage consent window, and use them in import, export and the API.
Info
After 31 January 2027 (23:59 UTC) the Consent field will be deprecated.
Import files that still use the old column names will trigger an import error after the deadline, and API users need to switch to the new fields too. For further details, consult the comprehensive API guide for the Events module.
Accepted time format for excel import:
