Checkbox

A Checkbox element is used to represent a binary choice, where your visitor can select one of two possible values: True (Yes) or False (No).

It is often used for simple yes/no questions.

Other common uses include:

• Agreement: To confirm whether a user agrees to terms and conditions, policies, or rules.
• Consent: For actions like confirming participation, subscription, or permission.

When the checkbox is checked it represents a true value. When the checkbox is unselected it represents a fasle value.
