Google Recaptcha Category

Hi!
We find the option to disallow the load of Google Recaptcha until the user accept the cookies, but we find that Google Recaptcha is under “Marketing” category.
How we can change this?
We want a specific category like “Spam Protection”.

It is possible?

Hi @joinso,

reCaptcha is categorized as “Marketing” as an umbrella term for all services that collect personal data. In reCaptcha’s case this at least an IP address, and most of the time website behavior. Because Google’s Privacy Statement does not specify how this data is used. It is categorized in the highest category. So far the short explanation.

The only way to categorize reCaptcha in another category is to still use Marketing as a basis. There is no straightforward way to categorize per service, but if you have only reCapthca as “Marketing” service you can rename the category on the banner.

I had a quick look and this seems to be the case, apart from Google fonts. You can use OMFG to localhost Google Fonts.

Let me know if this works for you,

Yes, it works for us.
Instead of usign OMFG, we disable Google Fonts in Divi.
We rename the category to “Marketing / Spam Prevention” because the site is using Adwords.
In another site that we are customizing, we use Adwords and YouTube.

We use Google Recaptcha only for the contact page.
So we do add this code to the contact page:

<script>
jQuery( document ).ready( function() 
{
  var value=window.cookieconsent.utils.getCookie("cmplz_marketing");
  if(value === 'undefined' || value === 'deny')
  {
    jQuery('#wpcf7-f3502-p3495-o1').hide();
    jQuery('#introFormulari').hide();
  }
});
</script>

In brief:
If the user does not allow the use of “marketing” cookies, or he does not make a decision yet, the contact form is not enabled.

The contact page is still having other contact ways: address, email, phone, so is not a bad pain.

We know that are alternatives like HoneyPot, but have more options to be hacked thant Google Recaptcha.
