Click fraud protection that keeps bots out of what your ads learn from. DataCops checks every paid click, flags bots, datacenters, VPNs and proxies, and with Real people only switched on, a bot conversion never reaches Google Ads, Meta, TikTok or LinkedIn. For Google Ads, it hands you the evidence to ask for a refund.
Trusted by agencies and brands running paid media
Click fraud protection is software that finds paid ad clicks made by bots, scripts, click farms or competitors, and limits the damage they do. The damage is twice over: you pay for the click, and if the visit fires a conversion, your ad platform learns to buy more clicks like it.
DataCops protects the second half, your ad data. It checks every visit from your ads against its own IP intelligence across 360+ billion addresses and 350+ monitoring points, flags the bots, and when Real people only is on, never sends their conversions to your ads. It logs every paid click, and for Google Ads it exports the flagged ones as refund evidence.
DataCops is click fraud protection for your ad data: with Real people only on, bot clicks never reach the conversions Google Ads, Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn learn from.
What a paid click becomes
Anyone who pays per click and lets the ad platform bid on conversions.
Keep bot add-to-carts and fake checkouts out of the signals Meta and Google Ads bid on.
Fake form fills are the most common click fraud payoff. Keep them from counting as leads.
Stop bot signups from teaching your campaigns what a trial user looks like.
Show each client where their paid clicks went, and which campaign draws the bots.
The wasted click is the part you see. The part you do not see is what your ads learn from it.
A bot that fills a form or adds to cart fires the same event as a person, and the pixel sends it to your ads as a success.
Browser pixels send whatever fires. Nothing between the visit and the ad platform asks whether the visitor was human.
Your Google Ads reportFake leads and fake carts make a campaign look efficient, so budget moves toward the traffic that is worst for you.
Your LinkedIn Ads reportBot clicks sit inside your campaign numbers. Without a click log, the worst campaign can look like the best.
From the paid click to the conversion your ads learn from.
Meta Sent once Google Ads Sent once 
TikTok Sent once LinkedIn Sent once With Real people only off, every conversion is still sent and flagged visits are only marked in your reports.
“15 minutes to get server-side tracking live. After 3 days failing with another app and a DIY server-side Google Tag Manager, that alone sold me. Then support jumped on a Google Meet with me on a Sunday afternoon to finish the job. Nothing else comes close.”
Real people only is the click fraud protection setting that decides what your ad platforms learn from. With it on, a conversion from a flagged visit is never sent.
Real people only
Meta Google Ads TikTok LinkedIn What it holds back
Turn it on for Meta and leave it off for LinkedIn if you like. Each platform keeps its own setting.
New sites send every conversion. Switch on Real people only when you want flagged traffic held back.
A conversion held back by the switch shows in your delivery log as skipped, with the reason.
The DataCops click log follows every paid click from the moment it lands to the conversion it did or did not become. You see the real people and the flagged traffic side by side, campaign by campaign.
Each click ID that reaches your site is logged with its campaign, from Google Ads, Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn.
See how many clicks never loaded the page, how many were real people and how many turned into a conversion.
Spot the campaign where bots, VPNs and proxies pile up, before you raise its budget.

Example numbers
Google already filters some invalid clicks on its own. For the ones it charged you for, DataCops gives you the evidence to ask for the money back. Available on the Organization plan.
Each Google Ads click DataCops flags as fraud keeps its click ID, IP, timestamp and campaign, with the reason it was flagged.
Pick a date range and download a CSV in the shape Google asks for. The range stops at 60 days, because that is as far back as Google investigates.
Attach the file to Google's Click Quality Form. Google reviews every case and decides any credit. DataCops packages the evidence, it does not file the claim for you.

Click fraud is a paid ad click made by something with no interest in buying: a bot, a script, a click farm or a competitor. You pay for the click, and if the visit then fires a conversion, your ad platform learns to find more traffic like it.
