I suspect it's to verify people who'd computers are set to avoid cookies, maybe have an adblocker or refuse to agree to 'sharing location' with the site ...

It's big business selling 'freshly verified email addresses'

Why do sites use it? CAPTCHA is used to prevent bots from automatically submitting forms with SPAM or other unwanted content. Google and other companies use it to prevent bots from creating multiple Gmail accounts. ... This is getting more and more difficult to decode for humans as the bots are getting better at it

I told you I knew what I was talking about..So I just Googled the above to get it through your numb skulls

At least these are benign ones. Have you noticed the ones with fuzzy pics asking you to identify traffic lights, street signs, buses, or store fronts, etc? Usually there are several screens to go through.

Those ones have a dual purpose. What Merc said, and to aggregate data and experience for self-driving cars. This of course is valuable and is definitely sold.
