+If enabling the 'consent' resource in synapse, you will need some templates
+for the HTML to be served to the user. This directory contains very simple
+examples of the sort of thing that can be done.
+
+You'll need to add this sort of thing to your homeserver.yaml:
+
+```
+form_secret: <unique but arbitrary secret>
+
+user_consent:
+  template_dir: docs/privacy_policy_templates
+  default_version: 1.0
+```
+
+You should then be able to enable the `consent` resource under a `listener`
+entry. For example:
+
+```
+listeners:
+  - port: 8008
+    resources:
+      - names: [client, consent]
+```

+
+    When accessed via GET, returns the privacy policy via a template.
+
+    When accessed via POST, records the user's consent in the database and
+    displays a success page.
+
+    The config should include a template_dir setting which contains templates
+    for the HTML. The directory should contain one subdirectory per language
+    (eg, 'en', 'fr'), and each language directory should contain the policy
+    document (named as '<version>.html') and a success page (success.html).
+
+    Both forms take a set of parameters from the browser. For the POST form,
+    these are normally sent as form parameters (but may be query-params); for
+    GET requests they must be query params. These are:
+
+        u: the complete mxid, or the localpart of the user giving their
+           consent. Required for both GET (where it is used as an input to the
+           template) and for POST (where it is used to find the row in the db
+           to update).
+
+        h: hmac_sha256(secret, u), where 'secret' is the privacy_secret in the
+           config file. If it doesn't match, the request is 403ed.
+
+        v: the version of the privacy policy being agreed to.
+
+           For GET: optional, and defaults to whatever was set in the config
+           file. Used to choose the version of the policy to pick from the
+           templates directory.
+
+           For POST: required; gives the value to be recorded in the database
