Privacy & Consent Element

Last Update: June 4, 2026

The Avada Privacy & Consent Element is part of Avada’s Privacy Toolkit and allows you to display a list of necessary, functional, statistical, or marketing cookies that will be used on your site. You can easily add this Element to your privacy policy page, or wherever it fits best for your site. It can even be added to an Avada Off-Canvas. See the How To Use The Privacy & Consent Element in an Off Canvas help file for an example.

It displays details and checkboxes for all services you chose, shows each of your users which services they have consented to and which they have not, and lets users easily update their consents through the Element. For a broad overview of the privacy options available in Avada, please see the Privacy & Consent in Avada help file.

For privacy reasons YouTube needs your permission to be loaded.

Note: – The Avada Privacy Element was renamed to the Privacy & Consent Element in Avada 7.15.3. The Element is disabled in Avada Global Options by default and must be enabled under Global Options > Privacy & Consent > Privacy Consent Tools to be accessible.

How To Use The Avada Privacy & Consent Element

You can add the Privacy & Consent Element anywhere on your site, but a natural place is the privacy policy page. You might also choose to add it to an Avada Off-Canvas that opens upon page load. Both examples can be seen below.

The Privacy & Consent Element pulls its content from the Avada Global Options set in the Privacy & Consent tab, so they work closely together. That said, you can override and configure the Element independently from the Global Options by way of its many options.

See the full list of options below, and if you haven’t started with the Privacy & Consent in Avada help file and video, make sure you review that to get the big picture on Privacy & Consent and how it can be implemented on your Avada website.

Element Options

General

Heading		Description
Privacy Text		Controls the privacy text which will show above the form.
Cookie Grouping Layout		Choose whether to display cookies in groups (by category) or as a flat list.
Group Display		Choose whether groups are stacked vertically or arranged side by side in columns. In Columns mode, groups wrap automatically when they reach the minimum width.
Column Minimum Width		Minimum width of each column in pixels. Columns wrap to the next line automatically when they can no longer fit at this width.
Column Gap		Gap between columns. Accepts any CSS value, e.g. 1em, 20px.
Visible Cookie Groups		Choose which cookie groups to display and drag to reorder them. Groups on the left are active; drag to the right to hide.
Show Group Titles		Whether to display the category title for each cookie group. Only applies to the Grouped layout.
Collapsible Groups		Collapsible adds a toggle to each group title. Accordion allows only one group open at a time.
Collapsed on Load		Whether groups start collapsed when the page loads.
Group Master Toggle		Display a master checkbox next to each group title to enable or disable all items in the group at once. The "Necessary" group is excluded. "Default" uses the Theme Option setting.
Group Title HTML Tag		Choose the HTML tag for the group title headings.
Consent Item Style		Choose between standard checkboxes or slide toggles for the consent items and master toggles.
Show Group Description		Set to "yes" to display the category description set in the Consent Categories for each cookie group. Only applies to the Grouped layout.
Form Field Layout		Choose if form checkboxes should be stacked and full width, or floated inline.
List WordPress Necessary Cookies		Enable to automatically list standard WordPress necessary cookies in the Necessary group. If WooCommerce or The Events Calendar are active, their necessary cookies are included automatically. "Default" inherits from Global Options.
Show Cookie Lifespan		Whether to display the cookie lifespan next to each consent item.
Show Cookie Description		Whether to display the cookie description for each consent item.
Cookie Description Toggle		Add a toggle button next to each consent item to expand/collapse its description. Descriptions start collapsed. "Default" uses the Theme Option setting.
Show Update Button		Choose whether to display the Update / Save consent button. When building a custom consent layout with multiple Privacy elements on one page (e.g. one per cookie group in separate columns or tabs), only one element needs to show this button — submitting it will automatically collect and merge choices from all instances.
Update Button Text		Label for the Update button. Defaults to "Update" if left empty.
Show Accept All Button		Choose whether to display an Accept All button that checks all optional items and saves.
Accept All Button Text		Label for the Accept All button. Defaults to "Accept All" if left empty.
Show Reject All Button		Choose whether to display a Reject All button that unchecks all optional items and saves.
Reject All Button Text		Label for the Reject All button. Defaults to "Reject All" if left empty.
Save Action		"Reload Page" submits the form and reloads to re-render consent-gated content. "AJAX" saves client-side, replaces visible placeholders immediately, and fires an event (useful when the element is inside an Off Canvas).
Element Visibility		Choose to show or hide the element on small, medium or large screens.
CSS Class		Add a class to the wrapping HTML element.
CSS ID		Add an ID to the wrapping HTML element.
