CaptchEtat

This captcha solution is developed by the "Agence pour l'Informatique Financière de l'État" (AIFE), and ensures compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as described by the "Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés" (CNIL).

It’s a free service dedicated to French Public Entities or French State inter-ministerial partners only.

CaptchEtat follows the good practices in terms of web accessibility. It allows the reading of the captcha in visual and audio type.

Multilanguage is also included (French & English supported).

Major versions:

1.x: Based on v1 of the CatpchEtat API, it will be officially decommissioned on December 3, 2024. This version of the module will be maintained (bug fixs only) until the API is decommissioned.
2.x: Based on v2 of the CatpchEtat API, it allows you to limit the number of calls when generating a captcha. Captcha accessibility has also been improved. CaptchEtat v1 authorizations were automatically carried over to version 2. You can therefore migrate to this new version today.
