VJ, it sounds like you just want the _form item_ to be checked upon
presentation of the form, and then the user will either "opt-out" or not.

In that case, you can simply change the HTML that displays the form under
consideration.  This would _visually_ make the box checked upon display, and
if it remained checked, then it would be submitted as a subscription.

The HTML <input> element for type 'checkbox' can take 'checked' value.

Here is a comparison:


Checkbox input type that is not checked:

    <input name="someWidget" type="checkbox" value="Subscribe">


Checkbox input type that is checked:

    <input name="someWidget" type="checkbox" value="Subscribe" checked>
