At Sealmetrics, we employ sophisticated bot detection and filtering mechanisms while maintaining full compliance with privacy regulations.
Unlike traditional analytics platforms, we do not use IP-based filtering due to privacy regulations.
Instead, we implement two primary filtering methods:
Automatic Bot Detection
Our system automatically filters out all traffic from user agents containing "*bot" in their name. This helps eliminate most known bot traffic from your analytics data.
Behavioural Pattern Filtering
We use an advanced behavioural detection system that identifies suspicious activity patterns:
If a user agent generates more than 4 clicks within 5 seconds
The system automatically freezes all traffic from that specific user agent for 1 hour
This applies to ALL user agents, regardless of whether they contain "*bot" in their name or not
This dual-layer approach helps ensure your analytics data remains clean and accurate while respecting privacy regulations and legitimate user traffic.
Note: Our behavioral pattern filtering is designed to minimize false positives while effectively identifying automated traffic that could skew your analytics data.
