hCaptcha: cookies and consent management

hCaptcha is a third-party service that can be integrated into a website. Activating it may involve data exchanges with the provider or browser-side storage mechanisms.

When hCaptcha requires visitor consent, tarteaucitron can condition its activation on the choice made through the consent interface.

Managing hCaptcha with tarteaucitron

When hCaptcha is integrated through tarteaucitron, its activation is managed according to the visitor's consent choice. The service can therefore be loaded only when the corresponding permission has been granted and the visitor can later change this choice through the consent interface.

Cookies and storage used by hCaptcha

No cookie name is currently declared in the tarteaucitron integration for hCaptcha. This does not necessarily mean that the service processes no data or uses no other browser storage mechanism.

Configuring hCaptcha

Add the following code to your website after initializing tarteaucitron. Replace the example values with those provided by hCaptcha.

<script>
(tarteaucitron.job = tarteaucitron.job || []).push('hcaptcha');
</script>

Additional code

The following code can already be present on your website and should be kept where the service is used.

<div class="h-captcha" data-sitekey="siteKey"></div>

Code to remove

Default HTML code to remove from your website:

<script src="https://hcaptcha.com/1/api.js"></script>

For a complete guide, read the documentation to install tarteaucitron.js.

Privacy information

Frequently asked questions about hCaptcha

Does hCaptcha require consent?

Whether hCaptcha requires consent depends on the data processed, tracking technologies used and the purpose of the service.

How does tarteaucitron block hCaptcha?

tarteaucitron controls the activation of hCaptcha according to the consent choice recorded for the visitor. The service code is triggered through tarteaucitron instead of being loaded independently from the consent manager.
