Query on disabling plugin’s front-end JavaScript file

    I noticed that this plugin is loading a JavaScript file on every page (/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-for-woocommerce/public/js/mailchimp-woocommerce-public.min.js).

    I’m interested in using the plugin to sync customer and order data, so some automations in Mailchimp can be triggered based on order history; I’m not using the plugin to manage subscriptions (the Opt-in Settings for the newsletter checkbox on checkout is “Hidden, unchecked by default“) and am not using a popup form from Mailchimp.

    I saw the script also facilitates “analytics and marketing efforts” configured in my Mailchimp account–could you provide a little more detail on this / what this is specifically, so I can identify if this use case is / would be the case for me?

    Finally, if I am just using the plugin to sync customer and order data for the purpose I detailed above, and I am thus not in need of it managing subscriptions, popup forms, analytics, or marketing efforts, should I safely be able to use this code (https://github.com/mailchimp/mc-woocommerce/wiki/Include-Exclude-Mailchimp-Script) to disable the script from running completely?

    Oh, also, what about the mailchimp-woocommerce_gdpr script that loads on the checkout page–what purpose does that serve? What happens if it is disabled? (I’m guessing it isn’t necessary as the website doesn’t fall under GDPR, but this would be helpful to know, too!)

    @hastibe – yes it’s safe to disable it if you’re not using it. The GDPR currently loads on the checkout page – and we do not have a filter to turn that off at the moment. It’s there for a good reason – but maybe we can add a filter in there for you to turn this off as well in a future version.
