It should still be done with consent. Robots.txt files don’t protect against determined scrapers anyway.

I thought bot protection was one of reasons for using Cloudflare in the first place (next to general CDN hosting)? After all, they do show a captcha-like challenge on some websites, so I thought that even without robots.txt, it still would have prevented the automated request by default.
