Direct Answer: HTTP Protocol Mismatch is one of the checks BotRefund uses to spot automated traffic. It looks for a mismatch that a real browsing session does not normally create, such as proxy rotation, location masking, or browser spoofing. A normal visitor's connection, location,...

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: Audio channel mismatch is a check that looks for inconsistencies between a browser's reported audio capabilities and other hardware details. Automated browsers often claim mismatched audio channels compared to their graphics or processor. BotRefund uses this as one of 106 independent checks...

Direct Answer: Audio Latency Drift is a check that looks for a mismatch between the hardware, graphics, fonts, audio, or processor behavior a browser reports. Virtual machines and spoofed profiles often claim one device while their behavior tells another story. BotRefund uses this as...

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: Pixel suppression stops conversion pixels from firing when a bot is detected on the page. This removes false positive feedback from the ad platform’s machine learning model. With BotRefund, only clean human conversions reach Smart Bidding or Advantage+, which stabilizes return on...

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: Independent evidence means each signal adds one objective fact about the visit. BotRefund does not trust one signal by itself. It cross-checks that fact against other browser, network, device, and behavior data. The AI model then weighs the complete pattern to decide...

Direct Answer: IP address inconsistency is a signal that looks for mismatches between a visitor's connection, location, language, and timing. A real browsing session usually has these facts agreeing with each other, while proxy rotation or location masking can make them disagree. BotRefund uses...

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 bots trigger your tracking pixels, which the ad platform interprets as successful conversions. The algorithm then adjusts your bidding to target more users that behave like those bots, leading to wasted spend on non-human traffic. This is a...

Direct Answer: Pixel poisoning happens when bot sessions trigger your Meta Pixel conversion events, feeding false signals to the ad algorithm. The algorithm then optimizes toward more bot-like traffic, raising costs while real conversions decline. BotRefund suppresses pixel conversion events during bot sessions in...

Direct Answer: Pixel poisoning happens when bots trigger conversion actions on your landing pages, which then feed your ad platform's machine learning models. The bidding engine studies those bot interactions and optimizes targeting to serve ads to similar bot profiles. This feedback loop drains...

Direct Answer: Pixel poisoning happens when bot interactions trigger your tracking pixels, making the ad platform think those are valuable conversions. The algorithm then shifts budget toward similar bot traffic, wasting spend. BotRefund prevents pixel poisoning by suppressing pixels on automated sessions, forcing the...

Direct Answer: Pixel poisoning happens when bot sessions trigger conversion pixels and train ad algorithms to target similar bot profiles. Over time the algorithm spends more budget on low-quality inventory that looks like the bot. BotRefund prevents pixel poisoning by suppressing the Google Tag,...

Direct Answer: Pixel poisoning happens when bot sessions trigger your conversion pixel, giving the ad platform a false positive. The algorithm then optimizes for more of those bot-like profiles, which drives up spend without real sales. BotRefund prevents this by suppressing pixels on bot...

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: Proxy rotation is when automated traffic switches IP addresses frequently to avoid being blocked. It can make a visitor's language, location, and network timing disagree with each other. BotRefund uses the Languages Mismatch check to capture this kind of inconsistency as evidence....

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...
