Conversion and advertising tools
After an entry is stored, the plugin dispatches:
gdcf_submission_success
It also pushes this event to window.dataLayer:
gdcf_form_submission_success
The event includes the form ID, entry ID, and captured attribution parameters. This can be used as a Google Tag Manager Custom Event trigger for Google Ads, GA4, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or other tags.
The plugin captures supported attribution values from the landing URL and keeps them for the browser session:
- utm_source
- utm_medium
- utm_campaign
- utm_term
- utm_content
- gclid
- gbraid
- wbraid
- fbclid
- ttclid
Built-in and Google anti-spam protection
- WordPress nonce verification
- Honeypot field
- Minimum form-completion time
- Per-form rate limiting using a privacy-preserving IP hash
- Server-side field validation
- Google Cloud reCAPTCHA checkbox
- Google Cloud reCAPTCHA invisible score
- Compatibility with existing legacy reCAPTCHA v2 checkbox, v2 invisible, and v3 keys
- Server-side token, hostname, action, and score verification where applicable
Google reCAPTCHA is disabled by default. Google scripts are loaded only on pages containing a GlobalDev form after a complete configuration is enabled.
Shortcode
Add a form to a page, post, widget, Elementor Shortcode widget, or another compatible builder:
[globaldev_form id="1"]
The shorter alias is also supported:
[gdcf_form id="1"]
External services
Google reCAPTCHA is an optional external service and is disabled by default. When enabled, the plugin loads a Google reCAPTCHA JavaScript file on pages containing a GlobalDev form. The browser communicates with Google to obtain a verification token. The website backend then sends the token, configured site key, and expected form action where applicable to Google’s verification or assessment endpoint. The plugin does not include submitted contact-form field values in that request.
For Google Cloud reCAPTCHA modes, the website owner supplies a Google Cloud project ID and API key. For legacy compatibility modes, the website owner supplies an existing classic secret key.
Service information and policies:
- Google reCAPTCHA: https://cloud.google.com/security/products/recaptcha
- Google Cloud Terms: https://cloud.google.com/terms/
- Google Cloud Data Processing Addendum: https://cloud.google.com/terms/data-processing-addendum/
- Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Privacy
GlobalDev Contact Forms stores submitted form data in the local WordPress database. Depending on configuration and visitor URLs, it may also store the source page, browser user-agent, supported advertising attribution parameters, and a one-way hash derived from the visitor IP address. It does not store the raw IP address.
The plugin never sends form entries to GlobalDev. Email notifications are passed to the website’s WordPress mail system. If Google reCAPTCHA is enabled, Google processes browser telemetry and verification data as described in the External services section. Site owners are responsible for appropriate privacy notices, consent configuration, retention policies, and lawful processing terms for their jurisdiction.
