Subject: [PATCH] fix: don't state newsletter opt-in as a given before consent
 is checked
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Both /cart's and /checkout's newsletter hint boxes phrased regular
marketing emails as an already-decided outcome ("bekommst du...").
The actual consent checkbox (unchecked by default) only exists on
/checkout's address form, and even there the copy didn't make the
outcome conditional on it. Pre-supposing opt-in like this is unlawful
under UWG/DSGVO (see the ECJ's Planet49 ruling on pre-checked consent) —
reworded both to frame it as conditional/an option, not a promise.
