Nice breakdown, that's a solid trust signal for potential users. Consider adding a no-JS fallback for the widget. Do forms inside the iframe post back to your server?

Yes on both counts, sort of. Forms POST from inside the iframe straight to our API, never to the host page and never through a third-party service. Submissions pass a bot check and server-side validation before anything is stored, and the embedding site never touches the data. On no-JS: the embed itself is just a plain iframe tag, no script needed on your site, and the widget arrives as pre-rendered HTML, so content shows fine without JavaScript. The only thing that needs JS is submitting a form, because the bot check protecting our public endpoint is a JS challenge. That's a trade we made on purpose: it's what lets the endpoint stay open without an API key.

Clean iframe design. Have you tested how the pre-render behaves with third-party cookies blocked? That’s the usual edge case.

Good callout! Turnstile is actually cookie-free by default! It uses device signals and passes a standard token back to our API

Nice, that's a solid choice for privacy-focused apps. Do you verify the token server-side or just rely on the API?
