Acceptance Checkbox

Acceptance checkbox is one of the form-tag types that Contact Form 7 has long provided. It consists of a simple checkbox dedicated to confirming the submitter’s consent on a given condition.

We decided to redefine this feature because it was no longer adequate to meeting increasing requirements. Obtaining explicit consent in advance of collecting personal data is now considered essential in terms of protecting privacy rights. Therefore, it is important to record who has consented to what conditions if there is a possibility of reusing the personal data.

With the new acceptance checkbox, you can specify a condition to consent to in the content part of the form-tag, and if the submitter consents to it, the fact will be recorded in a mail message, or in the database (Flamingo).
