# Expressing and Withdrawing Optional Consents

The school may ask for additional consents — for example, consent to use your image or to send marketing messages. These are optional: you can give or withdraw them at any time directly from your [**Client Panel**](/en/client-panel/managing-account-in-client-panel.md).

## How to change a consent

Go to the ***My personal details*** tab and find the ***Optional consents*** section. You will see all available consents and their current status.

To give or withdraw a consent, toggle the switch next to it — the school will be notified automatically.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.activenow.io/en/client-panel/changing-optional-consent.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
