    Toggles should not exist. They should be check boxes. Checked if “ON”, unchecked if “OFF” with a mouse over tooltip if there is any chance that it’s ambiguous.

      Buttons/switches trigger an immediate action, whereas checkboxes usually do not (such as on a settings page, where no changes are applied unless you click “save”).
