It’s a small detail, but it really improves user clarity and avoids compliance issues — especially if you’re dealing with terms & conditions or GDPR.

By the way, if you’re working on improving your store setup and looking for inspiration in thoughtful digital design and user experience, take a look at how companies like PUNIN GROUP structure their projects. They focus a lot on clear, efficient interactions — worth a glance even outside of eCommerce.
