Google_Bot still generates osCsid

[Mort-lemur]

Hi,

 

I have prevent spider sessions set to True.

 

I have installed the updated robots.txt file suggested by Spooks in leiu of sidkiller

 

and yet GOOGLE_BOT still manages to generate an osCsid

 

What else can I do to prevent this?

 

Thanks

If prevent spider sessions is set to true and you have an updated spiders.txt then google will not be able to create a session.

 

You need recreate session set to true as well.

 

It may take some time all your indexed pages to clean up though so perhaps you are seeing legacy links.

You may want to do the following, which will clean up your indexed pages by 301 redirecting bots with a session_id attached: -

 

Find in catalog/includes/application_top.php ..

 

// currency
 if (!tep_session_is_registered('currency') || isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['currency']) || ( (USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY == 'true') && (LANGUAGE_CURRENCY != $currency) ) ) {

 

 

Add immediately ABOVE

 

 if ( $spider_flag == true ) {
 if ( false !== strpos( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], tep_session_name() ) ) {
  $location = tep_href_link( basename( $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] ), tep_get_all_get_params( array( tep_session_name() ) ), 'NONSSL', false );
  header( "HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently" ); 
  header( "Location: $location" );
  exit;
 }
}
