How about the noindex-meta-tag?

In javascript you can check the navigator.userAgent if it matches with any of those.

Edit: I realize this might not be the answer you were looking for. Is that google analytics? How about goint to Admin > View > View Settings > Bot Filtering "Exclude all hits from known bots and spiders".
