Well, you are not forced to put them alone on a page. :) As far as UI is concerned, check how preferences are handled in any program. You have checkboxes in the middle of all preferences and not a serie of questions in modal windows. Such Yes/No dialogs are mainly used to confirm actions like "Do you really want to remove foo?" and similar _action_. It's not used for configuration.
