Website log in with GitHub authentication method - Newsletter sign up checkbox

[kikilondon]

Description of the issue 📄

During the GitHub authentication flow, if a user fails to fill out all required fields, the form reloads to prompt them for the missing information. When this reload happens, the "Sign up for our newsletter" checkbox loses its default "checked" state, causing new members to accidentally opt out of the newsletter.

Expected behaviour:
The "Sign up for our newsletter" checkbox should remember its state and remain checked when the form reloads.

Actual behaviour:
The checkbox becomes unchecked, meaning the user will not be added to the newsletter list unless they specifically notice and re-check it.

Steps to fix 🛠

Fix the state loss: Modify the checkbox code so that it checks the submitted parameters. If the form was submitted with the box checked, it should render as checked. Make sure the logic accurately reflects what the user did. ( x example: Default to true on first load, but if the user explicitly unchecks it before failing validation, it should stay unchecked).
