Solving a security problem cutting down a features without proposing a workaround is not a good thing...

Now, how we can manage the click on a link with terms or privacy policy? This is a MUST, here in EU we must give this link near privacy or terms checkboxes.

Lot's of website use HTML in label or text/value, now they are all broken...

I was facing the same issue, but then I have found the following extension: https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/bit-linked-checkboxes/

It was easy to set up, and provides a flawless solution for the problem above. Hope it helps others as well...

Tom Möller has prepared an extension for that issue, too. You can find the tutorial (only in German, but shouldn't be too difficult to understand) under that link: https://forum.joomla.de/thread/4785-wie-erstelle-ich-eine-datenschutz-checkbox-inklusive-link-zum-datenschutzhinweis/.
This is what I use on my websites.
