So let's define consent again, shall we? There is only one (1) form of valid user consent;
INFORMED, ENTHUSIASTIC CONSENT, REVOCABLE.
That's it. No ifs, no buts.
The user must understand what they are giving consent for, and the scope for which their consent is valid.
They must be enthusiastic, wholly onboard with the decision, not begrudgingly agreeing to it because they feel like they have no other choice.
And they must be able to revoke that consent at any time, whether five minutes from now, or five years in the future.
