reCAPTCHA: integration, data and consent

reCAPTCHA is an API or third-party technical service integrated into the website. The data exchanged and applicable requirements depend on the feature and configuration being used.

When reCAPTCHA uses tracking technologies or processing that requires consent, tarteaucitron can condition its activation on the visitor’s choice.

Managing reCAPTCHA with tarteaucitron

When reCAPTCHA 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 reCAPTCHA

The current tarteaucitron integration declares 1 cookie associated with reCAPTCHA:

  • NID

This list corresponds to the cookies currently declared in the tarteaucitron service definition. The service provider may change its technical implementation over time.

Configuring reCAPTCHA

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

<script>
tarteaucitron.user.recaptchaapi = 'XXXXX';
(tarteaucitron.job = tarteaucitron.job || []).push('recaptcha');
</script>

Additional code

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

<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="sitekey"></div>

Code to remove

Default HTML code to remove from your website:

<script src='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=XXXXX'></script>

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

Privacy information

For detailed information about the processing of data by reCAPTCHA, cookies and applicable retention periods, refer to the documentation or privacy policy published by the service provider:

Frequently asked questions about reCAPTCHA

Does reCAPTCHA require consent?

The API name alone is not enough to determine whether reCAPTCHA requires consent. The data transmitted, technologies used and purpose of the service must be considered.

How does tarteaucitron block reCAPTCHA?

tarteaucitron controls the activation of reCAPTCHA 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.
