Answer 1

first you import JsonResponse and render in your views.py:
from django.http import JsonResponse
from django.shortcuts import render
After change your Class:
class delete_profile(View):
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
# handle the get request
return render(request, 'frontend/subscription-start.html')
def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
email_content = "deletion confirmation"
send_mail(
'No Dowry Marriage - Subscription',
email_content,
'sender#gmail.com',
['reciever#gmail.com'],
html_message=email_content,
fail_silently=False
)
return JsonResponse({'some_text': some_text})
# or
# return render(request, 'some_location/some_html_file')
Maybe change your ajax POST request headers:
headers: {
'X-CSRFToken': csrftoken
}
