Do I need to share my Google or Meta login to get a free bot audit?

Does suppressing pixels on bot sessions hurt my campaign's machine learning?

Direct Answer: No, it does the opposite. Bot sessions send false conversion signals that poison Meta's optimization engine. Suppressing those events keeps the algorithm learning from real human behavior. BotRefund's real-time pixel suppression starts cleaning campaign data immediately. That usually leads to better ROAS...

How can a bot detection tool tell if a browser is automated

Direct Answer: A tool like BotRefund examines hardware, graphics, fonts, and operating-system details to see if they naturally fit together. Automated browsers often report mismatched information, such as an audio channel that does not match the device. By checking 106 independent signals including audio...

How can a bot detection tool tell if automated scripts are sending clicks and scrolls?

Direct Answer: Automated scripts can send clicks and scrolls, but they struggle to match the varied timing and movement of real people. BotRefund's Blocked Challenge Iframe check looks for that mismatch as one clue. The tool then cross-checks the signal against browser, network, device,...

How can a detection tool spot FlareSolverr without blocking real users?

Direct Answer: It uses the FlareSolverr Patch signal as evidence rather than as an instant verdict.

Only the full...

How can I stop bots from corrupting my Meta lookalike audiences?

Direct Answer: Bots that trigger Pixel conversions teach the algorithm to find more bot-like profiles. Those profiles contaminate lookalike audiences and future campaigns. BotRefund suppresses pixel events on bot sessions before they reach Meta. That keeps your lookalike audiences built on genuine human conversions.

How can I stop bots from training my Smart Bidding or Performance Max campaigns?

Direct Answer: By using client-side pixel suppression. When BotRefund detects an automated session, it dynamically suppresses the Google Tag so no conversion signal reaches Smart Bidding. This forces the algorithm to optimize only for validated human traffic.

How can I tell if a visitor's scrolling behavior is automated without slowing down my site?

Direct Answer: BotRefund's Constant Scroll Speed check looks for the mismatch between human-like varied scrolling and automated constant-speed scrolling. The script runs client-side to capture timing, movement, and hesitation patterns that scripts struggle to replicate. Because it's one of 106 signals, a single anomaly...

How do automated browsers hide from detection tools?

Direct Answer: Automated browsers often use native patching to mask their automation by altering browser APIs or properties. BotRefund looks for these mismatches as part of its 106 independent checks. A single patching anomaly is not enough to call something a bot because privacy...

How do bot detection tools avoid false positives from privacy tools?

Direct Answer: BotRefund avoids false positives by keeping each anomaly as evidence instead of an instant verdict. Privacy tools, travel, corporate networks, and unusual devices can make real people look suspicious. The system cross-checks the signal against independent browser, network, device, and behavior data...

How do bots trigger my Google Tag and Meta Pixel if they aren't real users?

Direct Answer: Bots can execute DOM interactions and spend time on landing pages, which makes standard tracking pixels fire just like a human visit. The pixel only knows an event happened, not whether a person was behind it. BotRefund verifies human presence through device...

How do I stop bots from wasting my budget in the first 72 hours of a new campaign?

Direct Answer: The first 48 to 72 hours is when ad algorithms assign heavy weight to the first 20 to 50 interactions, so bot contamination there is especially damaging. Installing BotRefund before launch lets it detect automated visitors and suppress your tracking pixels in...

How do I write a terms of service clause that legally lets me refuse payment for last-click hijacking?

Direct Answer: State that cookies set on checkout or cart pages are invalid if they override previous referral sources, and explicitly disallow last-second cookie injection loops. Pair this with a decline-rights clause tied to telemetry proof such as click-to-conversion times under 15 seconds or...
