2. Why are we visiting your site?

Our automated system (AbstraktBot) visits your website to index publicly available articles or content that has been explicitly authorized through our partnership agreements. We do not scrape private data or non-public sections of your site.

3. Behavior & Etiquette

• Respect: We strictly adhere to standard robots.txt directives.
• Performance: Our crawler is designed to be lightweight and non-intrusive. We implement strict rate limiting to ensure we never impact your server's performance.
• Identification: Our requests are clearly identified with the User-Agent string: AbstraktBot/1.0 (+https://abstrakt.news/bot; tech@abstrakt.news)

4. Opt-Out & Control

If you wish to block our crawler from specific sections of your site, you can use the standard robots.txt exclusion:
