Exclude visits

Ignore your own traffic and filter events by path, host, IP, or country.

Drop pageviews and custom events before they count toward quotas or appear in the dashboard. This is separate from bot filtering—bots are handled first; exclusions are rules you set per site.

Open Traffic exclusions for the site (/websites/<site-id>/exclusions), or Exclusions from the site sidebar. For volume tips, see Reduce usage.

Ignore your browser

For your own machine only, open the site in the browser, then the devtools console and run:

localStorage.kobbe_ignore = "true";

To send events again from that browser:

delete localStorage.kobbe_ignore;

The tracker checks this flag before any network request. It does not use cookies.

Path rules

RuleMatches
Exact pathe.g. /admin matches only that path.
Prefix with /*e.g. /admin/* matches /admin/users but not /admin itself.

Paths are matched against the same normalized path Kobbe stores for events: pathname only by default, or pathname + hash when the tracker uses data-track-hash. Query strings are never part of the path.

Hostname rules

Hostnames are compared in lowercase. You can enter example.com without https://; Kobbe normalizes full URLs to their hostname if you paste one. example.com and www.example.com match each other automatically, so you do not need to add both.

Use hostname rules when you use a custom collect endpoint (proxy): the tracker sends the page hostname on the visitor’s site so exclusions still work.

Country rules

Use a two-letter ISO-3166 code (e.g. us, de). Kobbe uses the request’s country hint from the edge (same source as dashboard maps). Unknown or missing country will not match a country rule.

IP rules

Enter the client IPv4 or IPv6 you want to exclude. The address is compared only when the event is collected; it is not stored as part of the event row. If the edge cannot resolve a client IP, an IP rule will not match.
