What is it?

Cloudflare Turnstile is a type of CAPTCHA that is able to verify users as real humans to block any spam or bot traffic entering your competition. This feature applies at the end of the data capture form and is an automatic reading that doesn’t affect the user experience.

    • (C) Here you can select from different modes. Select Managed if you want Cloudflare to decide whether or not the checkbox needs to be manually filled for assumed bot activity.
