If you use analytics tools such as Google Analytics, you may notice a sudden burst in traffic within your analytics reports when a cookie scan is being performed. This is due to the bots that Termly uses in order to crawl your website for active cookies. You can filter out the traffic coming from the Termly cookie scanner bots by setting an IP filter within your analytics platform.

IPs used by the Termly cookie scanner bots

• 54.188.91.132

• 44.241.76.145

• 54.149.84.59

• 54.71.228.250

• 34.217.4.132

• 35.80.252.61
