We removed this on our second round of testing, IIRC, and conversions went up a percentage point, which was significant relative to the number of observations. (The Meta page with the raw data is at the shortcut R:ACUX.) However, I wouldn't claim removing the checkbox alone was what resulted in this bump, since removing the checkbox also had secondary benefits which are likely more important: for instance, removing that option means the submit button is above the fold for more people. More important than the testing data is that this option is not one that is really necessary on signing up. Login is a different story. Simplifying the user experience by removing unnecessary instructions, options, and checkboxes is A Good Thing. To be clear: I'm not suggesting we should remove the option and automatically set the cookie for people. (We didn't do that during testing either, for what I think are obvious reasons.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
