    Now that my site is using reCAPTCHA v3 so that it works with CF7, I have a badge on the bottom right corner of every single page stating that my site is protected by Google/reCAPTCHA.

    The only place where I’ve intended for reCAPTCHA to work is within CF7 forms.

    So… Does reCAPTCHA inadvertently also work for WP comments as well just by having this plugin installed? Because having the badge show up on every single page expresses that this is the case.

    I’m about to remove the badge with CSS, ’cause it’s ugly and will thus be adhering to Google’s rules to add the following under every contact form submit button:
    This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy">Privacy Policy</a> and <a href="https://policies.google.com/terms">Terms of Service</a> apply.

    I need to know if reCAPTCHA is also working for comments as well now so that I can apply the same statement above to the comment box. Also, since it collects data in some form for traffic analysis, it’s also something that I need to consider for the GDPR plugin disclaimer copy.

    Otherwise, the default site-wide reCAPTCHA badge is pretty much a lie that users will see when commenting, which is not something I’d like to happen when transparency with the user/audience is growing in value.

    Thanks for any help in this matter!
