The KillBot plugin for WordPress uses the external KillBot service to protect websites from bots and automated traffic.
- What is this service, and what is it used for?
KillBot is an anti-bot system that analyzes traffic, detects bots, and can either block them or present a CAPTCHA. The plugin interacts with the KillBot service to check users for signs of automated behavior and detect the use of proxies or VPNs.

What data is sent and when?
The plugin sends the following data to the KillBot server upon each new visit session:
-
The window.navigator object
- The window.screen object
- The window object (excluding string-based parameter values)
Important: KillBot does not receive any personal user data, such as names, email addresses, or account identifiers.
