To do this, follow the steps:

  1. Click on 'Account' in the top right corner.

  2. Next, click on 'My account' in the dropdown menu.

  3. Navigate to 'Consent fields' on the left-hand side under the 'Privacy & security' tab.

  4. Create a general consent field.

Consent fields for each webinar

You can also create separate consent fields for each webinar. This is useful when, for example, one webinar requires extra conditions compared to the other.
