Not really user and not really bot requests... #581

Wanted to ask about "what is bot" and what you consider bot.

I'm testing CrawlDetect to determine if I should assign guest ID or not (No point to assign to bots).

But if we have IOS for example, it has additional services for fetching data (anonymously) so pixel wont be tracking etc.
Basically it shows itself as "NetworkingExtension/8621.3.11.10.3 Network/4277.140.33 iOS/18.6.2"

Does not remember cookies.
Is it / should it be considered a bot/crawler? It is not a user, nor really a bot. It's something between. How do you classify it?
