 * Hello,
    how does Koko Analytics separate real user visits from bot and crawlers,
   that are coming from search engines and other sources? Thank you and kind regards,
   Sascha

 * We look at the user agent, so as long as the bot admits being a bot (such as 
   most search engine crawlers would do) they will be ignored from the statistics.
 *     ```
       // do not track if user agent looks like a bot
       if ((/bot|crawler|spider|crawling|seo|chrome-lighthouse/i).test(navigator.userAgent)) {
       return
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope that helps. If you have any questions, please let me know!
