ComplianceContextBot

ComplianceContextBot is the scanner that reads a business's own website when its owner asks us to, so cob can surface the privacy and compliance content you already publish. It is authorised first-party access — your customer gave us the domain — not a third-party crawler.

User-agent string

The scanner identifies itself with this exact user-agent on every request:

ComplianceContextBot/1.0 (+https://trycob.com/bot; compliance context extraction; respects robots.txt)

The product token to use in a firewall or WAF allowlist rule is ComplianceContextBot (lower‑cased match: compliancecontextbot).

How it behaves

• It honours robots.txt — if a path or user‑agent group is blocked in your robots.txt, the scanner will not fetch it.
• It fetches a small number of pages once, not continuously, and only pages on the domain the customer gave us.
• It does not follow links beyond the target domain.

Allowlisting

If your firewall, WAF, or CDN blocks or challenges unknown user‑agents, add an allowlist rule that matches the token ComplianceContextBot (case‑insensitive match on compliancecontextbot is safest). This page is the permanent reference for that token; if the scanner's identity ever needs to change, we will update it here.
