Direct Answer: A forensic click log contains detailed session records including GCLID and FBCLID identifiers. These logs provide evidence that invalid traffic occurred and can be submitted to ad platforms to claim refunds. BotRefund generates compliance-ready forensic logs you can download for this purpose.

Direct Answer: A free bot audit from BotRefund scans your site for 106 independent signals, including rapid tab blurs, to detect automated traffic. You get a report showing how many bot visits occurred and which behaviors were detected. This helps you decide whether to...

Direct Answer: A Navigation Timing Stub is a placeholder or incomplete implementation of browser navigation timing APIs that some automated browsers expose. BotRefund checks for this as one of 106 independent signals to see if a browser is hiding its real behavior. A normal...

Direct Answer: It is one of the independent checks BotRefund uses to spot automated visits. It looks for a mismatch that a real browsing session would not normally create. Scripts can send clicks and scrolls, but they struggle to reproduce the varied timing, movement,...

Direct Answer: It is one of 106 independent checks BotRefund uses to spot automated browsers. The check looks for a mismatch that appears when automation tools patch or hide browser APIs. A normal browser runs those APIs as designed, so the mismatch stands out....

Direct Answer: An Accept-Language Mismatch occurs when the language header sent by a browser does not align with the visitor’s IP‑based location or device settings. Real users typically have consistent language and location data, while bots often spoof or rotate these values. BotRefund flags...

Direct Answer: Anti-stealth traps are checks designed to catch bots that try to mimic human behavior by hiding their automation. BotRefund includes traps that look for patched browser APIs, debugger presence, and other anomalies. These traps are part of the 106 independent checks that...

Direct Answer: Asset starvation is a check that identifies a mismatch in a browser's environment that a normal user would not create. Automated toolkits often leave distinctive shortcuts or remnants that reveal the browser is being controlled. BotRefund uses this as one of 106...

Direct Answer: Background Navigation is one of 106 independent checks BotRefund uses to see if a browser is hiding something. It looks for a mismatch that a real browsing session does not normally create. A partially spoofed browser can show missing or inconsistent capabilities...

Direct Answer: FlareSolverr Patch is one of the 106 independent checks BotRefund uses to separate human visits from automated ones. It looks for shortcuts or browser remnants that automation toolkits like FlareSolverr leave behind. A normal browser does not usually create this kind of...

Direct Answer: Hardware & GPU Fingerprinting involves examining the hardware and graphics details reported by a user's device. A normal browser reports details that naturally fit together for that device. Mismatches can indicate that a virtual machine or spoofed profile is being used, which...

Direct Answer: Pixel poisoning happens when bots trigger conversion events on your site, causing your ad platform to optimize for fake signals. This corrupts your lookalike audiences and can spike your CPA. BotRefund prevents this by suppressing the Meta Pixel in real time when...

Direct Answer: Pixel poisoning happens when low-quality or bot conversions are sent back to Meta as if they were real leads, so the algorithm learns to optimize toward more of the same junk traffic. The page recommends creating a verified-lead or qualified-lead event after...

Direct Answer: It looks for a mismatch that a real browsing session does not normally create. Virtual machines and spoofed profiles can claim one device while their graphics, fonts, audio, or processor behavior tells another story. BotRefund uses this as one of 106 independent...

Direct Answer: Having 106 independent checks means BotRefund does not rely on a single browser tell. Each check adds one objective fact about the visit. The AI weighs the complete pattern across all signals. This multi-signal approach reduces false positives and improves accuracy to...

Direct Answer: Using 106 independent checks allows BotRefund to build a comprehensive and reliable picture of whether a visit is human or automated. Each check provides a piece of objective evidence that is then cross-checked and analyzed by AI prediction. This multi-signal approach significantly...

Direct Answer: Real-time blocking stops bots from triggering your pixels and consuming your budget the moment they hit your site, which protects your live campaigns today. Past spend recovery means gathering evidence of historical invalid clicks and submitting it to the ad platform for...

Direct Answer: Basic fingerprinting looks at static browser details, while FlareSolverr detection looks for specific automation remnants like shortcuts left by the toolkit. BotRefund uses the FlareSolverr Patch check as one of 106 independent signals. It combines that evidence with other checks and AI...

Direct Answer: Independent evidence is one objective fact about a visit, such as a blocked challenge iframe mismatch. Cross-checked context means BotRefund tests whether other signals support the same story. A single clue is only the starting point. The final classification comes from an...

Direct Answer: IP blocking relies on static blacklists, which modern botnets can easily bypass with rotating proxies. Client-side detection analyzes behavior and browser signals in real time. BotRefund uses 110+ on-site telemetry signals to identify bots that IP blocking misses. This approach also provides...
