What is TermlyBot?
About
TermlyBot is Termly's web scanner that analyzes websites for legal compliance, privacy policy requirements, and cookie usage to ensure regulatory adherence. You can see how often TermlyBot visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors Agent Analytics.
Expected Behavior
Security scanners do not follow a predictable schedule when visiting websites. Their scans can be one-time, occasional, or recurring depending on the purpose of the scanner and the organization's security practices. The frequency and depth of their scans can vary based on factors like the visibility of the site on the public internet, past scan results, and inclusion in external threat intelligence feeds.

⚠️ Manual Robots.txt Editing Is Not Scalable
New agents are created every day. We recommend setting up Dark Visitors Automatic Robots.txt if you want to block all agents of this type.
