Problem of classic CAPTCHAs

Traditional CAPTCHAs harbor major legal risks and high fines

Conventional CAPTCHAs such as Google reCAPTCHA are in conflict with European data protection laws and current case law. The slightest mistake can result in warnings and high fines as well as public reputational damage.

Cookie ConsentGoogle reCAPTCHA drops analysis cookies; in 2024 Austria’s BVwG ruled it unlawful without prior opt-in under GDPR and § 25 TTDSG.Source BVwG reCAPTCHA ruling

US Data ExportCAPTCHAs such as reCAPTCHA transmit IP and browser data to U.S. servers; since the 2020 CJEU Schrems II judgment, standard contractual clauses alone no longer assure legality, forcing case-by-case risk checks.Source CNIL on reCAPTCHA consent

Not NecessaryFrench DPA (CNIL) confirmed reCAPTCHA is not strictly necessary for site security because it also performs analytics, so consent is mandatory.Source CNIL decision: SAN-2023-023

Compliance Overhead

A single data-subject request costs $1 524 on average (Gartner 2023); UK firms spend £70 000–£330 000 per year on DSARs, and studies show non-compliance is 2.7 × pricier than proactive compliance.
