Spam bots love contact forms, and if you have visitors in the EU or UK you’ll also want their consent before you store what they send. Many anti-spam tools, like Google reCAPTCHA, load a third-party service on your page, which some site owners would rather avoid.
This Anti-Spam GDPR Contact Form Template handles both on your own site. A GDPR Agreement checkbox asks for consent, and a Custom Captcha math question helps keep out bots without calling an outside CAPTCHA service. It suits small businesses, agencies, and bloggers looking for a reCAPTCHA alternative, a privacy-friendly CAPTCHA, or a GDPR contact form with spam protection.
Elements of the Anti-Spam GDPR Contact Form Template
- Name and Email: Who’s writing and where to reply.
- Message: Their question or request.
- Spam Check: A random math sum the visitor answers before sending. It changes each time the page loads.
- GDPR Agreement: A required consent checkbox that names your business and links to your privacy policy.
You’ll get an email for each message, and senders get a copy. You can switch the Spam Check to your own question and answer, and it works alongside WPForms’ built-in anti-spam protection. No spam filter catches everything, and a consent box isn’t the whole of GDPR, so check what the privacy rules in your area ask of your site.
