The Tagnovo scanner

How to recognize it

Every request identifies itself. The user agent isTagnovoScanner/1.0 (+https://tagnovo.com/bot). In a robots.txt group the token is tagnovoscanner.

What it requests

Four page types, discovered from the store software: home, collection, product, and cart. Checkout on a hosted domain is not one of them. On a recurring scan the rate is one request per second per host.

How robots.txt is treated

A scheduled or batch scan honours robots.txt. A one-shot scan that a person started from tagnovo.com does not — a merchant checking their own store should not be refused because their robots file disallows /cart. Recurring observation always respects robots.

Asking not to be scanned

Disallow the scanner in robots.txt:

User-agent: tagnovoscanner
Disallow: /

That is honoured on every recurring path. A one-shot scan someone started themselves is still their request. For an export or an erasure of what we hold about a host, write to privacy@tagnovo.com. Findings that are the authorization trail for a payment page are retained for the period the requirement asks for; everything else can be erased.
