hCaptcha for WordPress free WordPress plugin

hCaptcha is a drop-in replacement for reCAPTCHA that puts user privacy first.

Need to keep out bots? hCaptcha protects privacy while offering better protection against spam and abuse. Help build a better web.

How hCaptcha Works

The purpose of a CAPTCHA is to distinguish between people and machines via a challenge-response test, and thus increase the cost of spamming or otherwise abusing websites by keeping out bots.

To use this plugin, just install it and enter your sitekey and secret in the Settings -> hCaptcha menu after signing up on hCaptcha.com.

hCaptcha Free lets websites earn rewards while blocking bots and other forms of abuse when a user needs to prove their humanity.

hCaptcha Pro goes beyond the free hCaptcha service with advanced machine learning to reduce the challenge rate, delivering high security and low friction along with more features like UI customization.

Privacy Notices

hCaptcha is designed to comply with privacy laws in every country, including GDPR, LGPD, CCPA, and more.

With the default configuration, this plugin does not:

• track users by stealth;
• write any user personal data to the database;
• send any data to external servers;
• use cookies.

Once you activate this plugin, the hCaptcha-answering user’s IP address and browser data may be sent to the hCaptcha service on pages where you have activated hCaptcha protection. However, hCaptcha is designed to minimize data used, process it very close to the user, and rapidly discard it after analysis.

We also suggest emailing the authors of plugins you’d like to support hCaptcha: it will usually take them only an hour or two to add native support. This will simplify your use of hCaptcha, and is the best solution in the long run.

Some plugins listed have been superseded by native support, and are included only for legacy purposes.

You should always use native hCaptcha support if available for your plugin.
Please check with your plugin author if native support is not yet available.
