 * Hi, I’m trying to create this contact form with GDPR agreement.
 * However, when creating a checkbox or using the ‘acceptance’ option I dont get
   any messages if not checked.
 * It doesn’t send the message if not checked, so that works. But I would like to
   let people know that they need to check this specific box in order to get the
   message sent..
 * Neither setting it at Required, or doing it with jquery has worked out for me..
 * Any ideas? Thanks

 * See [https://contactform7.com/acceptance-checkbox/#acceptance-as-validation](https://contactform7.com/acceptance-checkbox/#acceptance-as-validation)
 * Set `acceptance_as_validation: on` in the Additional Settings tab panel.
