Hello,
anyone knows if the google recaptcha violate the GDPR?
In my site I don't collect any data (no cookies) and my dubt is: recaptcha send dato to google and it store this data?
There is other (free) alternatives to google recapcha?
All the best
Paolo

I'm sorry, I do not know the answer to this.
But if this is true then I am sure you will find it somewhere on the Internet.
I am not aware of any alternatives that are free.

You can use the HTML object or Page HTML to add custom code to the page.

Unfortunately, I cannot help you with the implementation of third party scripts because for me that may also take a lot of time.

OK, I can understand it, thank you anyway.
I add a editbox without border and trasparent. I add a condition: if not empty>disable>submit
Do you think it can work like a honeypot trap?

No, I do not think that will work.
Spammers can easily disable JavaScript to by pass this
