Consent Field Element
Last Update: June 3, 2025
The Consent Field Element allows you to add a Consent field to your Avada Forms. This can be implicit, or approved with a checkbox. Read on to see the details of this useful Form Element.
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 for what the consent is for. By submitting the form, the user is giving their implicit consent.
If choosing Checkbox, it also makes sense to make the field required, as this means the user consent must be explicit. That in turns mean the form can’t even be sent without the box being checked.
But even if it isn’t set to required, if the box is not checked the consent field data won’t be sent at all, and if it is checked the value will be 1, which simply means true.
Consent is a legal term and this information must not be construed as legal advice. Please consult with a lawyer to be sure of your local requirements for consent when using website forms. Read this article for a rundown on consent requirments of the GDPR.
How To Use The Consent Field Element

Element Options
Location: The edit screen within each Element. You access the Form Builder Elements when adding an Element while editing a Form in the Avada Form Builder (Forms > Form Builder, from the Avada Dashboard).
Note: Please note that the displayed options screens below show ALL the available options for the element. If you have Avada’s Option Network Dependencies turned on, you will only see options relevant to your selections, and so the options screen may look somewhat different.
