When and Why to Use

Use this to ask for explicit consent before continuing with a survey. This is typically placed at the very start of the survey to meet legal or ethical requirements. If the user does not consent, the session ends.

Best for:

• Complying with data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA)
• Informing respondents about data usage
• Making sure participation is voluntary

Chat Experience

• The consent message is shown with the primary button options: Agree / Disagree.
• If an image is provided, it's shown above the text.
• The respondent cannot continue unless they agree.

Traditional Experience

• The layout places the consent text to the right of the image (if space allows).
• The button focus defaults to "Yes" on remote interfaces.
• Respondents are terminated immediately if "Disagree" is selected.
