Consent receipt
Lock in what you actually agreed to
A consent receipt is a portable, primary-source record of which version of PLOS's policy you accepted. It embeds the hash of that version, so if PLOS later asserts you agreed to different terms, you have proof to the contrary. Save the JSON. Print the text. Keep both.
