I have noticed that some CAPTCHA pages, like Cloudflare’s, simply ask you to check a box to proceed. There is no clicking on traffic lights or entering characters. How does clicking on a check box tell them I am not a robot?

      It doesn’t block them exactly, but it’s trying to make it uneconomical to target the site using bots - if it now takes 1 second to perform the action rather than 1/100th of a second, you now need 100x more bots to achieve the same effect
