Consent Field Element
Last Update: September 8, 2025
The Avada Consent Field Element is used in forms to obtain explicit user agreement, most often for legal or compliance purposes such as accepting terms, conditions, or privacy policies. The Element provides a customizable checkbox that can be set as required, ensuring users acknowledge the consent statement before submitting the form.
Watch the video below for a visual overview of Avada Form Builder Elements, and view the Avada Consent Field Element page. Read on to see the complete list of options.
How Consent Works
Consent from a user can be either implicit or explicit. The Element has a Consent Type option, with the choices being Checkbox and Implicit.
If you select Implicit, there is a Description field, where you enter a description of what the consent is for. By submitting the form, the user is giving their implicit consent.
If you choose Checkbox, it also makes sense to make the field required, as this ensures the user’s consent is explicit. That, in turn, means the form cannot be sent without the box being checked.
However, even if it isn’t set to required, if the box is not checked, the consent field data won’t be sent at all. If it is checked, the value will be 1, which means true.
Consent is a legal term, and this information must not be construed as legal advice. Please consult with a lawyer to ensure compliance with your local requirements for consent when using website forms. Read this article for a rundown on consent requirements of the GDPR.
