Exclude your own visits, IPs, countries, hostnames, or paths

Flowsery lets you configure exclusion rules for paths, IPs, countries, and hostnames from Website Settings → Security.

What exclusions do today

Exclusion settings keep your reports cleaner by defining traffic you do not want to analyze.

Important note about billing and ingestion

The UI exposes exclusions and stores them with your website settings. This documentation should not be read as a guarantee that excluded traffic is removed from ingestion before it counts toward quota in every path. Use exclusions primarily as a reporting-control feature unless you have verified the exact behavior in your environment.

Supported exclusion types

• URL paths such as /admin or /staging/*
• Specific IP addresses
• Countries
• Hostnames such as staging.example.com

Configure exclusions

1. Open Website Settings in Flowsery.
2. Go to the Security tab.
3. Add the paths, IPs, countries, or hostnames you want to exclude.
4. Save the website settings.

Browser-only testing note

To stop your own browser from being tracked, open the developer console on your site and run:

localStorage.setItem('flowsery_ignore', 'true');

The Flowsery tracker reads this flag on every page load. While it is set to true, that browser sends no pageviews, custom events, or session recordings. The flag lives in that browser's storage for that site, so set it on each browser, device, and hostname you use. To start tracking again, run localStorage.removeItem('flowsery_ignore').
