So I am considering changing the design of the site & in doing so I’m toying with the thought of allowing a bit more interaction. In the past this has led to horrendous amounts of moderation of spam, which gets pretty tedious. However I’m not a fan of visual or audio tests or of sending people’s personal data to big tech companies.

Sometimes though compromise is necessary. So I have implemented google’s reCAPTCHA service, but only on pages where a submission is possible, ie the contact form & on any pages allowing comments. The privacy policy has been updated accordingly & pages on which it is implemented display the google reCAPTCHA widget, which includes links to their privacy & terms of use pages.
