# 2. SIC CUSTOM ADDITIONS & NOTES
# ---------------------------------------
# Note that web crawlers have no access to DEV and STAGE as they are 
# behind behind basic authentication. These rules need address PROD only.
# ---------------
#    2.1 Sitemaps 
# ---------------
Sitemap: https://www.standard.com/sitemap.xml
# If you publish section sitemaps, list them too:
# Sitemap: https://www.standard.com/sitemaps/sitemap-1.xml
# Sitemap: https://www.standard.com/sitemaps/sitemap-articles.xml
# ----------------------------------------------------------
#    2.2 SAFE QUERY PARAMETER BLOCKS (Non-content)
# ----------------------------------------------------------
# Campaign & email vendor params (do not change page content)

Disallow: /*?distributor=
Disallow: /*&distributor=
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
#    2.4 IMPORTANT: DO NOT BLOCK FACETS / VIEWS PARAMETERS
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
# The following are intentionally NOT blocked:
#   - f[0], f[1], … (facets Query String processor)
#   - topics:#### or associated_products_and_services:####
#   - field_associated_state=*
#   - page=*  (Views pager)
# Rationale: These are content-affecting parameters. Blocking them
# prevents Google from seeing canonical tags and consolidating signals.
# Note that our Facet links use rel="nofollow". This ensures  
# Google crawls but does not over-crawl or index duplicate states. 
# -------------------------------------------------------
#    2.5 (Optional) Internal Site Search pages (evaluate)
# -------------------------------------------------------
# If your /search pages are thin and cause crawl waste, you may block:
# Disallow: /search?*
# Only enable after confirming you don’t rely on indexed search pages.
# On a related not, currently in our "pager" links at the bottom of search 
# pages we have applied rel='nofollow' to all but the "Next" link
# EXAMPLE PAGE LINKS:    1 2 3 4 5 Next Last
# ---------------------------
#    2.6 Media & admin paths
# ---------------------------
# Leave open unless there is a specific need to block.
# Example admin block (already usually behind auth/headers):
# Disallow: /admin/
# Disallow: /user/
# Disallow: /core/
# Disallow: /vendor/
# ------------------------------------
#    2.7 Other/Misc. custom additions
# ------------------------------------
# Block crawling specific documents and sections.
