Description
Adds GDPR compatible captcha code anti-spam protection to WordPress forms – comments form, registration form, lost password form, and login form.

No external services (like Google ReCaptcha) are used. No API keys are needed, and no user-identifiable data is used so it’s GDPR compatible.
