And replace it with hCaptcha if you absolutely must (https://www.hcaptcha.com/).
A good rundown of why hCaptcha is an entirely valid, privacy-oriented alternative: https://blog.cloudflare.com/moving-from-recaptcha-to-hcaptcha/ . Specifically, note the entire paragraph "A Better CAPTCHA", with emphasis on points (1), (2), and (4).
In essence, reCAPTCHA punishes users with robust cookie blocking policies, effectively deteriorating the website experience for privacy-minded people. Indeed, as someone who actively blocks all Google traffic, having to deliberately open three connections just to access the forums (excluding one for Facebook, hallelujah...) is both frustrating and unnecessary. Why should accessing the forums be at the expense of privacy?
And no, upgrading to reCATPCHA v3 is absolutely not a solution. In fact, it is worse.
Indeed, because the scripts for reCAPTCHA v3 must be loaded on every page of a site, you necessarily have to share your entire browsing session, and thus detailed data about your interactions with the site, with Google. This presents incredibly sensitive data, and everything that can be inferred or otherwise extracted from a website visit will naturally be collected and sent to Google. Oh, and since it relies almost entirely on browser fingerprinting, embrace cross-site tracking unless you diligently ensure distinct, containerised environments.
Could we please not

Stand up for what is right, even if you stand alone
