This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

The captcha with the checkbox tracks a lots of items like mouse movement, browsing history etc. Full list is not public but they use all their spying tools on that one
When I added the contact form on my website, I wanted to add reCaptcha so it would protect me from spam emails and make it easier for people by not having to click on pictures of fire hydrants. Reading a little about the privacy concerns about reCaptcha, I dropped it all together. I am in the EU, have a small numbers of visitors, it'a B2B thing so it was not worth it.
I wonder if Cloudflare Turnstile is any better
I always had the impression that only checks for ddos and bot activity. Might be wrong tho.
The entire point of a captcha is to stop bots, so a Turnstile verification stopping bots would qualify
Makes sense. Thanks for the info!
