 * Hi,
 * we are using the WordPress Brevo plugin and have setup a double opt-in process.
   So far this is working. However, we do receive bot entries with the double opt-
   in confirmation email. We are sure of this, because only users who have clicked
   on the confirmation email are saved in our email list, thus are double opted 
   in users.
 * We are concerned about the security of data as it shouldn’t happen that bots 
   are clicking on links in emails, especially with a DOI process. What are you 
   doing to protect Brevo users here and what is the solution?
 * Because of GDPR we do not want to use reCaptcha from Google. We have tried honeypot,
   but it does not work with your way of setup (Email could not be verified).
 * Kind regards

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for your mail. As for now, our WordPress forms are compatible with Recaptcha
   only. However, you can create a form through your account (Contact>Forms) and
   add a Captcha with Cloudfare Turnstile and add that form in your website.
 * Don’t hesitate to have a look at this tutorial : [https://help.brevo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019551939-Add-a-CAPTCHA-to-your-subscription-form](https://help.brevo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019551939-Add-a-CAPTCHA-to-your-subscription-form)
 * Please let me know if you need some assistance.
 * Best Regards,
 * Alexis
