How do CAPTCHAs work without giving you a challenge task? - eviltoast

I have noticed that some CAPTCHA pages, like Cloudflare’s, simply ask you to check a box to proceed. There is no clicking on traffic lights or entering characters. How does clicking on a check box tell them I am not a robot?

    Why do so many websites use cloudflare? Isn’t the Internet meant to be decentralised and resilient? It’s not so resilient if so much is dependent on the servers of one company.
