I'd like to remind folks that switches and checkboxes mean two different things. Please do not use them interchangeably on the web.

Switches imply that changing the value has an immediate effect (i.e., the change is immediately saved). Checkboxes do not, and should have a corresponding Save button.

Switches were popularized by iOS, where they almost always have immediate effect. Checkboxes have been around much longer on the web, and have almost never had immediate effect (hell, it wasn't even possible until Web 2.0).
