I’m trying to create a privacy-friendly but spam-resistant contact form in Wix Studio.
My understanding is that Wix Forms uses Google reCAPTCHA which requires explicit user consent according to Google’s terms and some European regulators.
As I see it, this means that one needs to either:
(1) Use a consent management platform (CMP) that will successfully block Google cookies and scripts unless consent is granted.
(2) Avoid Wix Forms entirely and create custom forms using inputs and a POW-type Captcha like Friendly Captcha.
The second option seems rather complicated but I haven’t found a CMP that I’m confident will stop user data from being sent to Google without their consent. On a test run I didn’t see any Google cookies or scripts, which I’m guessing might be because of the way Wix implements reCAPTCHA as part of its tiered anti-spam approach, or maybe because Wix collects the behavioural data and sends it via a backend process. And I’d prefer to avoid a CMP in any case as apart from this I am using essential cookies and no tracking.
If anyone’s solved this I’d love your help. Thanks!
