docs: Document automatic tracking filtering for bot, monitoring, and privacy opt-out traffic#796
Conversation
…y opt-out traffic Mautic now excludes bot/crawler, HEAD, prefetch/prerender, Sec-GPC, and DNT requests from tracking (page hits, Email opens, Asset downloads, Contact tracking). Add an Automatic tracking filtering subsection under Tracking settings and cross-reference it from the Contacts overview. Source: mautic/mautic#15844
| * The tracking code automatically detects the Preferred Timezone and Preferred Locale fields. | ||
| * Landing Pages including 4-byte UTF-8 characters, such as emojis and some Chinese or other non-Latin characters, in the Landing Page title or URL aren't tracked on a Contact's activity history in Mautic. Mautic tracks all Latin characters used in English and other western languages which are of 1-byte. | ||

Documented the new automatic tracking-filtering behavior introduced by this PR. The new IpLookupHelper::isRequestTrackable() method suppresses tracking for HTTP HEAD requests, prefetch/prerender requests (Purpose/Sec-Purpose headers), Sec-GPC: 1, and DNT: 1, falling through to existing bot/IP filtering. It gates page hits (PageModel::hitPage()), Email opens (EmailModel::hitEmail()), Asset downloads (AssetModel::trackDownload()), and Contact tracking (ContactTracker). The behavior is always-on with no configuration toggle, which is why the docs state it can't be turned off.
