`coccocbot-ads`

Cốc Cốc's robots.txt guide says its robots support the robots exclusion protocol. The robot list at https://coccoc.com/search/console/coc-coc-robots calls coccocbot-ads the advertising robot. Each robot looks for the best-matching name, and a less specific match is ignored. If the file does not mention this token and does mention coccocbot, this robot follows that group. This check reports that fallback and does not apply that fallback. This check matches the whole token. A non-200 response is treated as unrestricted access, and no response skips the site for a while. This check does not fetch. The guide says Crawl-delay is a whole number of seconds and a value above 10 is treated as 10. This check does not apply Crawl-delay.
