If your Browser Bot traffic is showing up in Google Analytics, and you don't want it to, there are two things you
can try: disabling Google Analytics in Loadster, or filtering all bot traffic from Google Analytics.

## Disabling Google Analytics in Loadster

Loadster has a setting called **Disable Google Analytics for bot traffic** that can universally tell Google Analytics
not to run in the browsers controlled by your Browser Bots.

This setting is in the <a href="https://loadster.com/dashboard/settings">Settings</a> area of your Loadster dashboard. Checking it will universally
disable Google Analytics on all sites that your Browser Bots visit. This setting uses a similar approach to Google's own
**Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on**. It takes effect for any scripts played or tests run after the setting is updated.

## Filtering bot traffic from Google Analytics

Another approach, less specific to Loadster, is configurable on the Google Analytics side. They have a setting
called "Bot Filtering" that (at time of writing, at least) applies to Loadster's Browser Bots.

This setting can be found in Google Analytics by going to the **Admin** section, then **View Settings**, and it is
near the bottom of the page (at time of writing).

If the **Bot Filtering** setting is checked, bot traffic (including your load testing bot traffic from Loadster) will
be filtered out of your Google Analytics views.
