 * Google Recaptcha is a “technical cookie”?
    I think that no, because it collects
   personal data. When we setup Complianz, using the wizard, it collects all the
   cookies, discovers Google Recaptcha, and everything seems to work fine. After
   this, in our test, we accept only technical cookies. And Google Recaptcha is 
   still working, and can use the contact form: [https://www.saate.es/contacto/](https://www.saate.es/contacto/)
   We are using Contact Form 7, with Recaptcha version 3.
 * Is right this behaviour?

 * Hi!
    We find the option to disallow the load of Google Recaptcha until the user
   accept the cookies, but we find that Google Recaptcha is under “Marketing” category.
   How we can change this? We want a specific category like “Spam Protection”.
 * It is possible?

 * Hi [@joinso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joinso/),
 * reCaptcha is categorized as “Marketing” as an umbrella term for all services 
   that collect personal data. In reCaptcha’s case this at least an IP address, 
   and most of the time website behavior. Because Google’s Privacy Statement does
   not specify how this data is used. It is categorized in the highest category.
   So far the short explanation.
 * The only way to categorize reCaptcha in another category is to still use Marketing
   as a basis. There is no straightforward way to categorize per service, but if
   you have only reCapthca as “Marketing” service you can rename the category on
   the banner.
 * I had a quick look and this seems to be the case, apart from Google fonts. You
   can use OMFG to localhost Google Fonts.
 * Let me know if this works for you,

 * Yes, it works for us.
    Instead of usign OMFG, we disable Google Fonts in Divi.
   We rename the category to “Marketing / Spam Prevention” because the site is using
   Adwords. In another site that we are customizing, we use Adwords and YouTube.
 * We use Google Recaptcha only for the contact page.
    So we do add this code to
   the contact page:
 *     ```
       <script>
       jQuery( document ).ready( function() 
       {
         var value=window.cookieconsent.utils.getCookie("cmplz_marketing");
         if(value === 'undefined' || value === 'deny')
         {
           jQuery('#wpcf7-f3502-p3495-o1').hide();
           jQuery('#introFormulari').hide();
         }
       });
       </script>
       ```
   
 * In brief:
    If the user does not allow the use of “marketing” cookies, or he does
   not make a decision yet, the contact form is not enabled.
 * The contact page is still having other contact ways: address, email, phone, so
   is not a bad pain.
 * We know that are alternatives like HoneyPot, but have more options to be hacked
   thant Google Recaptcha.
