I see no mention of reCAPTCHA tracking users. They are "sending data about device and application data", which seems like a completely natural thing considering what reCAPTCHA is used for.
- croes 3y agoSince the reCAPTCHA code is loaded from the google.com domain, among others, the tool automatically gains access to cookies that are set for logged-in Google users. One of the cookies is called NID and contains a unique user ID that is also used for Google Signals to recognize users even across devices. In this respect, it is almost irrelevant from a data protection perspective whether reCAPTCHA (situationally) sets further cookies or not. In addition, reCAPTCHA also accesses the domain gstatic.com. As can be read on Google websites, this domain is also used by other tools. Thus, cookies can potentially be exchanged via this domain.
