Unmark "receive information" by default on user creation

This is a Feature Proposal

• This issue is part of the GDPR EPIC EPIC: GDPR  #3320

🎩 Description

This is a feature proposal to have a better compliance with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

We need to change the opt-out nature of our newsletter at the moment. We need to have it unchecked by default and it's also important to have a test so we don't have a regression with this feature.

User Story: As a non registered user, when I go to user registration form, I shouldn't see any checkbox marked by default.

For those participants that don't tick the newsletter checkbox, now that it is a default option, I strongly suggest we add a modal when pushing the regitration button saying:

"Are you sure you don't want to receive a newsletter? Please consider again ticking the newsletter checkbox below, it is very important for us that you can receive occasional emails to make important announcements, you can always change this on your preferences [link to preferences] in the future. If you don't tick the box you might be missing relevant information about new participatory opportunities within the platform. If you still want to avoid receiving newsletter we perfectly understand you option and we shall always respect it. Thanks!"

Under this modal the checkbox should appear again.
