+an error "Missing string query parameter 'u'". It is now possible to manually
+construct URIs where users can give their consent.
+
+### Enabling consent tracking at registration
+
+1. Add the following to your configuration:
+
+ ```yaml
+ user_consent:
+ require_at_registration: true
+ policy_name: "Privacy Policy" # or whatever you'd like to call the policy
+ ```
+
+2. In your consent templates, make use of the `public_version` variable to
+ see if an unauthenticated user is viewing the page. This is typically
+ wrapped around the form that would be used to actually agree to the document:
+
+ ```
+ {% if not public_version %}
+ <!-- The variables used here are only provided when the 'u' param is given to the homeserver -->
+ <form method="post" action="consent">
+ <input type="hidden" name="v" value="{{version}}"/>
+ <input type="hidden" name="u" value="{{user}}"/>
+ <input type="hidden" name="h" value="{{userhmac}}"/>
+ <input type="submit" value="Sure thing!"/>
+ </form>
+ {% endif %}
+ ```
