Footer
Sample footer
The footer is a "bottom navigation bar" to wrap up a page on your site. It gives your site's visitors another opportunity to find the page with the information they are looking for, or to send them to another page they may be interested in.
The footer also contains certain links and information such as the privacy statement, copyright agency, report vulnerability link and last updated date.
The footer configuration file is located at
_data/footer.yml and consists of the following configuration options. Some are required, some are not. Required fields:

We strongly recommend you create a feedback form using FormSGprivacy_policy: the URL to your site's privacy statement. The privacy policy URL defaults to/privacy/if left unspecified.
