<h3>What is Cloudflare Turnstile?</h3>

<h3>When does this plugin connect to Cloudflare?</h3>

<p><strong>Token Verification</strong>: When a form is submitted, the plugin sends a verification request to <code>https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/siteverify</code> to validate the Turnstile token.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h3>What data is sent to Cloudflare?</h3>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>During Widget Loading</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Your site key (public identifier)</li>
<li>Standard browser information (user agent, IP address)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>During Token Verification</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Turnstile response token</li>
<li>Your secret key (for authentication)</li>
<li>The user’s IP address (optional, for additional validation)</li>
