> and leave blank what consent means

Actually, this is not left blank at all...

--------------------

Consent means offering individuals real choice and control. Genuine consent should put individuals in charge, build trust and engagement, and enhance your reputation.

Consent requires a positive opt-in. Don’t use pre-ticked boxes or any other method of default consent.

Keep your consent requests separate from other terms and conditions.

Be specific and ‘granular’ so that you get separate consent for separate things. Vague or blanket consent is not enough.

Be clear and concise.

Make it easy for people to withdraw consent and tell them how.

Avoid making consent to processing a precondition of a service.
