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.

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...

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...
How does a bot detection tool tell if a browser is automated using asset starvation?
Direct Answer: The tool looks for missing assets or unusual shortcuts that automation toolkits leave behind. A real browser arrives as a complete consumer environment without those telltale signs. BotRefund records this signal as evidence and then cross-checks it against browser, network, and behavior...
How does a detection tool handle affiliates operating in multiple countries with different fraud patterns?
