# 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.
