New rules for AI bots visiting your website

Cloudflare is changing how websites handle AI crawlers. These bots often scan your pages to answer questions for users. Soon, they will be blocked by default unless the site owner allows them through.

This move gives website owners more control over their data. If you run a site, you should check your settings now to decide which bots can access your content. You can choose to block all of them or only allow specific companies.

Most websites will use a simple dashboard to manage these permissions. Take a moment to update your preferences before the deadline. This keeps your site data safe while letting helpful tools continue to work.
