When used without Captcha or with internal Captcha
Depending on the configuration, this element uses cookies in the “Necessary” group.
This element does NOT use JavaScript from external servers.
The execution of the form is NOT controlled by the cookie banner.
The form uses cookies if it contains an input field of the type “file upload.” If this is the case, a technically necessary session cookie is set to temporarily store the user's upload. If the form does not contain an input field of the type “file upload,” no cookie is set by the form. The form does not execute any JavaScript that is relevant to data protection.
Relevant to data protection in connection with the form is what information is requested by the form and thus transmitted. This is decided by the OpenCms editor who configures the form. However, in gerneral personal data such as name, address, or telephone numbers are requested by the form.
The form element offers various options in its configuration for how the information collected is to be handled:
- Sending form information via email
In this case, the information entered in the form is sent by email to the configured recipients. After the email is sent, no information from the form is stored in OpenCms. - Saving form information in the database
In this case, the information entered in the form is stored in the OpenCms database. In the database configuration of the form, you can specify which permissions are required to access the stored data. Stored form data can be automatically deleted (de) for events or church services.
When using an external captcha
If an external captcha is used with the form, please note the privacy policy of the external captcha provider used.

This plugin uses JavaScript, but it is loaded directly from your server. This JavaScript then contacts the servers of the Friendly Captcha provider to validate the captcha. In theory, this enables extensive tracking of the web user's activities on the displayed page. The extent to which tracking actually takes place is not known.
According to its own statement, Friendly Captcha does not store any personal user data, see:

This plugin sets cookies in the “External Content” group.
This plugin uses JavaScript from external servers.
The execution of Google reCAPTCHA is controlled by the cookie banner. The captcha is therefore NOT displayed if the web user has not consented to external cookies. This means that in this case, a form secured with a captcha cannot be submitted by the web user.
Cookies are set when the captcha is loaded via Google. It can be assumed that these include tracking functions for the web user.
External JavaScript files are loaded from Google's servers for this plugin. These are executed in the context of the page. This theoretically enables extensive tracking of the web user's activities on the displayed page. The extent to which the external JavaScript is actually used for tracking is not known.
A link to the privacy policy page can be automatically inserted into forms. This allows the administration to enforce that all forms always contain a link to the privacy policy page.
Detailed information on configuration can be found on the Privacy policy link in forms (de) page.
