Problem with Google SERP

Hello, I used for a while your plugin, but yesterday I noticed that Google is indexing plugin content, please check here as an example:

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=%22This+website+uses+cookies+to+improve+your+experience+while+you+navigate+through+the+website.+%22

Example is generic, but I used this plugin on 3 websites and results is the same, in some cases “This website uses cookies” overrides meta-description, i.e this website was using GDPR Cookie Consent plugin and was temporally removed for this:

https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&client=firefox-b-d&ei=_pWRXubwG6qc1fAP5Pu_mAw&q=site%3Atotalrent.it+%22This+website+uses+cookies+to+improve+your+experience+while+you+navigate+through+the+website.+%22&oq=site%3Atotalrent.it+%22This+website+uses+cookies+to+improve+your+experience+while+you+navigate+through+the+website.+%22&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQA1CbBlibBmDsCGgAcAB4AIABAIgBAJIBAJgBAKABAaoBB2d3cy13aXo&sclient=psy-ab&ved=0ahUKEwjm5-e3j-DoAhUqThUIHeT9D8MQ4dUDCAs&uact=5

I suppose this could be a problem for SEO “integrity”, and so I decided to report here. Any way to hide GDPR notice to other users (noindex for “This website uses cookies”, i.e Google do not index this?)

Would be very important, I suppose, for next versions. Have a great day!

I have exactly the same problem. The defined meta description is not taken into account by the google bot for my category pages, however the meta description is well defined.
In fact google index instead the content found here: post_type = cookielawinfo & page = cookie-law-info-poverview
By deactivating your plugin, the indexing of description metas works correctly.

Thanks

Hi,

it seems noindex for part of a webpage is not working on web results. No way to hide a part of HTML text to Google, as I read.

Maybe problem cannot be solved at all?

Hi @scapolupogmailcom, @webdesignsteyrer,

We have attempted on a fix for this issue and the version is under testing.

Hi all,

Please update to version 1.8.8 and let us know if the issue persists. We have excluded our plugin element from google indexing

It might take a couple of days to reflect changes depending on your site indexing.

Could you help me on the fastest way?

Hi @loverituals,

We googled your site and as you can see the screenshot here it does not have any issues with meta descriptions.
