OsanoBot

Fully verifiable

Osano's web retrieval agent for Compliance Check, which loads pages on a customer's own monitored hostname to assess cookie, consent and privacy-signal behavior. Requests are signed with Ed25519 HTTP Message Signatures (RFC 9421) under the Web Bot Auth scheme with the Signature-Agent https://bots.osano.com, so they can be verified independently of source IP.
