## Benefits of This Feature

By using this feature, you can benefit from the following:

**Accurate Data Analysis:** By excluding non-human access such as bots, you can perform analysis based on more accurate user behavior data.

**Flexible Exclusion Settings:** In addition to default settings that automatically exclude 100+ types of bots, you can customize exclusion rules using specific keywords or regular expressions. 🔍 [See detailed list here](/en/insight/setting/ua-exclusion.md)

**Consistent Data Measurement:** The exclusion rules you set are applied to both Insight and Experience features, allowing you to measure data under consistent conditions.

## Common Use Cases

This feature is helpful in the following scenarios:

**When you want to exclude search engine bots:** Access from crawlers such as Googlebot becomes analysis noise, so by excluding it, we measure only pure user access.

**When you want to exclude access from your own monitoring tools:** Tools that monitor site uptime and other regular internal access are excluded from analysis.

**When you want to exclude access from specific applications:** Traffic from in-app browsers and other sources that don't match your analysis goals are excluded.

## Configuration Method

**Access Basic Settings** Navigate to Basic Settings > Project > UA Exclusion
