Google caching the "cookie law message"

[Bio-RadAbs]

Hello!

So i've been looking at the cached text  version of our website. (Google Eyes is a great add on for this)

One thing I've noticed is that, Google caches our EU Cookie Law message. The message appears on the top of the page and Google is caching this.

The message is enclosed within  and but it still is being cached.

I'm going to ask the development mean to move the message at the bottom of the page and fix the position, but reviewing other websites with cookie messages, Google isn't caching them in their text only versions.

Any tips or advice?

Thank you, didn't know ( and ) are only valid for Google Search Appliance

We're going to use javascript/styling to hide the cookie message as our code is in the html of the page.

Hi Cyto,

the problem could be found within the use of the enclosed tags as they're not in anyway used by Google bots to don't crawl the content within the tags. The tags ( and ) you're using are only used within Google Search Appliance and don't have any value for the normal Google bots which you're trying to target with this.

Hope this helps!
