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 do bot detection tools avoid false positives from unusual devices or privacy tools?

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 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...

How does a bot detection tool differentiate between human mouse tremor and robotic movement?

Direct Answer: Humans naturally move their mice with micro-shakes and organic curves, whereas bots often move in perfectly straight lines or jump instantly between coordinates. BotRefund monitors these mouse dynamics and other telemetry signals to verify human presence. This allows the system to distinguish...
