Hello Team,

I’m using reCAPTCHA Enterprise on my website and, to avoid cookies, I’ve configured it to use the www.recaptcha.net source as recommended in Google's FAQ.

However, I’ve noticed that some Google cookies, such as AEC and NID, are still being set under the www.recaptcha.net domain.

Is there a way to completely avoid these cookies to ensure my platform remains compliant?

Thank you!

Hi Wesly

Were you able to resolve this issue?

I noticed that Netflix and Disney [for example] DO NOT provide the NID cookie even though they use the google.com/api domain for Recaptcha. This shows that regardless of the recaptcha.net vs google.com domain there must be a way to omit those cookies. (This applies when using Firefox with the Sec-GPC=1 third-party advertising opt out.)
 

So:

  • recaptcha.net based on your question maybe helps? maybe doesn’t help you omit the NID cookie.
  • google.com can include or omit the NID [and perhaps] other cookies for Recaptcha.

The real question is how can we configure recaptcha properly.
