External services

This plugin uses external services to protect the WooCommerce product review submission form from spam and automated bots. Depending on your configuration, it connects to one of the following:

Google reCAPTCHA

  • Frontend Integration: It loads the reCAPTCHA JavaScript API from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js on the product page to display the captcha challenge.
  • Server-Side Verification: When a user submits a review, the plugin sends the reCAPTCHA response token to Google’s verification endpoint ( https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify ) along with the Secret Key and the user’s IP address to confirm the validity of the captcha challenge.
  • Service: Google reCAPTCHA
  • Purpose: Spam and bot protection for WooCommerce product reviews.
  • Data Sent: Reviewer’s IP address and reCAPTCHA response token.
  • Terms of Service and Privacy Policy:
  • Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms

Cloudflare Turnstile

  • Frontend Integration: It loads the Turnstile JavaScript API from https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/api.js on the product page to render the Turnstile widget.
  • Server-Side Verification: When a user submits a review, the plugin sends the Turnstile response token to Cloudflare’s verification endpoint ( https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/siteverify ) along with the Secret Key and the user’s IP address to confirm the validity of the Turnstile challenge.
  • Service: Cloudflare Turnstile
