I am new on selenium and in this case I'm trying build code with selenium python to click checkbox from this HTML:

<div  xpath="1"><input type="checkbox" name="registerPrivacyAgreement" id="registerPrivacyAgreement" value="1"><label for="registerPrivacyAgreement" lang="lang_9" >I acknowledge that my data will be processed in accordance with the <a target="_blank" href="PrivacyPolicy.html">Privacy Policy.</a> &amp; <a target="_blank" href="UserAgreement.html">User Agreement.</a></label></div>

Snapshot of the checkbox:

I already try to click that checkbox from xpath with this code:

driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"/html/body/div[4]/div[1]/div[12]/div/div[4]/input").click()

I also tried by ID, & CSS_Selector but when I run, its doesn't click the checkbox but open newpage about UserAgreement I already try with other way but it always open newpage about UserAgreement not click the checkbox. Then I try with selenium IDE and record after that I play and then its work, but when I copy code from selnium IDE it show like this:

xpath=//div[@id='container']/div/div[12]/div/div[4]/label

Then i try back to my python code and it still open newpage about UserAgreement not click that checkbox. can someone explain me what happen and how to solve that?

As per the HTML provided:

To click on the desired checkbox ideally you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

• Using CSS_SELECTOR:

  driver.execute("get", {'url': 'https://www.toweroffantasy-global.com/'})
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button#onetrust-accept-btn-handler"))).click()
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.btn>span[lang='loginText'][scaletype]"))).click()
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.register"))).click()
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.checkBox input#registerPrivacyAgreement[name='registerPrivacyAgreement']"))).click()
  

• Using XPATH:

  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='checkBox']//input[@id='registerPrivacyAgreement']"))).click()
  

• Note: You have to add the following imports :

  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
