You can now use Event Block Rules to automatically block likely bot traffic from being tracked in your Tracklution container. This helps improve reporting accuracy and prevents low-quality traffic from being sent to ad platforms.

## How It Works

Tracklution assigns a bot\_score to sessions based on browser signals, automation detection, crawler patterns, and other traffic indicators.

Score range:

- 0.00 = likely human
- 1.00 = likely bot

The block rule simply filters events using the existing score, it does not create additional processing load.

## Recommended Settings

We currently recommend conservative thresholds:

- 0.85+ -> Probably a bot
- 0.95+ -> Almost certainly a bot

We do not currently recommend using thresholds below 0.70, as this may block legitimate mobile users.

## How to Enable

In your Tracklution Container, go to: Settings -> Event Block Rules → + Create Rule:

- You can apply the rule to selected events or enable Block all events to apply it to all current and future events.
- Rule type: Bot score is greater than equal to
- Value: 0.85 (or above, see thresholds above)

## Good to Know

- High bot scores typically include crawlers, headless browsers, and automation tools
- Existing historical data is not affected
- We recommend monitoring traffic impact after enabling the rule
