If it needs a checkbox to confirm you're a human then I would say that's a lost battle. A bot would be just as able to click that as I am. And I keep being hit with these over and over again. It's well beyond just annoying, especially when it is sites that I have a long standing relationship with. Which I wonder: are those sites even aware that Cloudflare keeps popping up that check dialog?
You are right that scripts can check a checkbox. Which is why the "checkboxes" that cloudflare/recaptcha display to you are not actually checkboxes. They're fingerprinting and behavioral analysis scripts.
