 * Hello,
 * Is it possible to add an option to give a custom value to the checkboxes?
 * I ask because as far as we can tell, according to GDPR you must record the fact
   that consent has been given, and how.
 * Getting around this manually for forms, we have been adding checkboxes with values
   that provide a statement of consent and also record the date. This is a bit more
   in depth than just the value of 1.
 * If this were possible in the plugin however it would make integrations much easier.
 * Let me know if you think this is something you may put into the plugin or not.
 * Regards,
    Lewis

 * @leiwsjames24 Yes the next update of the plugin (later this month) will include
   this option and we actually discussed this more with the team and concluded the
   default will be ‘show the checkbox’. 🙂
