We've added Cloudflare Turnstile bot detection as an optional feature for your questionnaires. When enabled, Cloudflare runs invisible JavaScript challenges in respondents' browsers to detect automated submissions — respondents see no captcha or any other visible interaction.
Privacy note
When bot checks are active on a questionnaire, Cloudflare receives the respondent's IP address, TLS fingerprint, and browser User-Agent string for bot scoring purposes. No questionnaire response content is shared. If you have any questions, please contact support@maptionnaire.com.
US Customers
If you are a US customer using the us.maptionnaire.com, you can turn this on yourself by following these steps:
- Open the menu on the top right.
- Select Manage teams.
- Click the team name.
- Toggle on "Allow bot checks".
-
You can then enable it per questionnaire in its Settings...
-
or set it on by default for all new questionnaires (note that it won't be automatically turned on for surveys that were already created, you'll need to follow #5 for them).
Customers outside the US
This feature is available to you at no extra cost. Because enabling it involves transferring respondent data (IP address, TLS fingerprint, and browser User-Agent string) to Cloudflare in the United States, activating it requires a separate contract addendum to cover the data transfer. If you're interested, please contact support@maptionnaire.com.

Analysis tool
You will be able to filter out all respondents that have been flagged as probable bots.
You can click on an individual map response and see a symbol of whether it has been flagged as a probably bot entry or not.
