Learn about common issues you might encounter or questions you might have while using reCAPTCHA.
Implementation
Can I use reCAPTCHA globally?
Yes, you can use www.recaptcha.net in your frontend code when
www.google.com is not accessible to your users.
- First, replace
<script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/enterprise.js?render=<SITE_KEY>"></script>with<script src="https://www.recaptcha.net/recaptcha/enterprise.js?render=<SITE_KEY>"></script>, substituting your Site Key for<SITE_KEY>. - After that, apply the same logic to everywhere else that uses
www.google.com/recaptcha/on your site.
Does reCAPTCHA use cookies?
reCAPTCHA sets a necessary cookie (_GRECAPTCHA) when executed for the purpose of providing its risk analysis.
If you prefer to not use the www.google.com domain which may have other cookies set, you can use www.recaptcha.net instead.
I'd like to hide the reCAPTCHA badge. What is allowed?
You are allowed to hide the badge as long as you include the fact that you use reCAPTCHA to protect your site. Include the following text:
This site is protected by reCAPTCHA.
For example:
Learn about reCAPTCHA data processing.
Do I need to show the reCAPTCHA badge or widget in my native mobile
No. The reCAPTCHA Mobile SDK runs invisibly in the background and doesn't render any badge or widget in your native mobile application. You don't need to hide or configure a badge.
If you choose to notify users that your mobile application is protected by reCAPTCHA, you can display a text disclosure in your application, such as in the about screen, the user flow, or the footer. For example:
This app is protected by reCAPTCHA.
Can I customize the reCAPTCHA widget or badge?
Yes. reCAPTCHA offers light and dark themes. To choose a
theme, set the data-theme attribute or the theme parameter when
rendering the widget or badge.
