Explicit waits are crucial. Cloudflare's JavaScript challenges often load asynchronously. Without explicit waits, your Selenium script might attempt to interact with the checkbox before it's fully loaded and enabled, leading to errors. Use `WebDriverWait` to wait for the checkbox to be visible, enabled, and clickable before attempting to interact with it.
