Bots and spiders or other crawlers

Bots and spiders or other crawlers represent non-human activity on the web. In some circumstances, these bots, spiders, or other crawlers are legitimate - e.g. "good" - but they are still non-human nonetheless.

While these bots, spiders, or other crawlers are good, they may trigger ad impressions under certain circumstances and must be filtered out in order to protect performance data.
