What it does not prove
- The identity of the person or their query.
- The page appeared in a Perplexity response.
- The fetch generated a click, conversion, or revenue.

Perplexity-User questions
How do I know a request came from Perplexity-User?
Talivia matches the Perplexity-User User-Agent token and labels the verification confidence explicitly. User-Agent text can be spoofed, so a token match alone is not an identity guarantee.
How can I allow or block Perplexity-User?
Add a rule for Perplexity-User in robots.txt and check the provider’s official documentation for behavior. robots.txt expresses crawl preferences; it is not access control or identity verification.
What does Talivia store?
Talivia stores the hostname, sanitized path, method, User-Agent, optional status, classification, and verification result. It does not store page bodies, cookies, authorization headers, query strings, or raw IP addresses.
