User agent

Requests from Acoon carry a user agent like this:

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; AcoonBot/4.11.1; +http://www.acoon.de/robot.asp)

Device Detector identifies it with this pattern (a case-insensitive regular expression):

AcoonBot

Anyone can put any name in a user agent. Where the operator publishes IP ranges, checking the request's address against them is the way to confirm a visit is genuine.

How Vireo counts Acoon

Vireo keeps requests from Acoon out of your pageviews and visitors and counts them on its bot report under Search engines, so you can see how much it left out rather than wonder why your server logs show more traffic.

Checked by running Vireo Analytics' own bot filter over Acoon's user agents.
