How device detection works

How device detection works

Armed with the right device detection tools, your online content can get accurate device-specific information in real time

Device detection technology uses HTTP headers such as the User-Agent and User-Agent Client Hints to gather device information.

The User-Agent has been around for decades. All the information on the device’s model, browser, and software is contained within a combination of characters called the User-Agent string.

User-Agent Client Hints are a recent addition to the HTTP header family. Information that was previously kept in one neat place within the User-Agent string is now divided between multiple headers.

  • No customer consent required. Device detection does not require cookie permission. The technology uses the HTTP request headers that are sent between the client and the server.
  • A human touch. Our team of data analysts regularly maintain and update our device database, resulting in 3,002,817 device combinations.
  • Future-proof solution. We're actively engaged in discussions on the future of the web through our participation with Movement for an Open Web. You can trust that we are prepared for any market changes.
