What is Cloudflare Turnstile : 

Cloudflare Turnstile is an all new CAPTCHA replacement that aims to offer a more pleasant verification experience, make Internet users’ privacy and security stronger, and spam less of a burden. While traditional CAPTCHAs can make users jump through hoops from solving puzzles to identifying images at the end of the day, Turnstile was built to be unobtrusive, to operate in the background without causing much friction for your users!

It uses a combination of JavaScript and client-side intelligence to check if the request is coming from a human or a bot without putting its user experience.

How Does Cloudflare Turnstile Works:

1. No User Interaction:
Finally, Turnstile is designed to be frictionless, which is to say it’s not ordinary for it to require any user interaction. For most users, it’s just a background check, no cause to click or solve puzzles.

2. Risk-Based Authentication: 
In the event of suspicion, the system will ask for more interactive proof (e.g., solving a challenge), but rarely for normal users does the normal user need this.

3. Privacy-Focused: 
Turnstile believes in the right to privacy of its users. Unlike certain CAPTCHA systems, it relies on tracking personal information or sending-user data to third-party services.

4. No Google Integration:
It’s also an alternative to Google’s reCAPTCHA, so your defaultstate=“open” users concerned about privacy or Google’s data collection, will not have to rely on that service.

5. It uses behavioral indicators, like mouse movements,  keystrokes, and interaction patterns, to identify whether the user is probably human or a bot.
