I’m not sure how they actually implemented it, but you can easily block ML crawlers via cloud flare. Isn’t just about every small site/service behind CF anyway?

Last I checked, cloudflare requires the user to have JavaScript and cookies enabled. My institution doesn’t want to require those because it would likely impact legitimate users as well as bots.

Huh? I can reach my site via curl that has neither. How did you come up with this random set of requirements?
