# SEO, cookies and the Dewstack badge

Three small sections at the bottom of **Customize** decide how search engines treat your Dewstack docs site, whether readers see a cookie notice, and whether a "Made with Dewstack" badge appears in the corner.

## Meta title and description

**Customize → SEO** has two text fields:

*   **Meta title** – the title a search engine shows on its results page, and the text in the browser tab. Left empty, Dewstack falls back to your workspace name.
*   **Meta Description** – the summary under the title in search results. Left empty, an article page uses its own excerpt.

Both apply site-wide as the default; an individual article page still gets its own title.

## No-Indexing

The **No-Indexing** toggle in the same section adds a `noindex` robots directive to every page of your docs site. Turn it on while you are still writing, and search engines will drop the site from their results rather than index a half-finished draft.

Two things worth knowing:

*   The toggle is **off by default** – a new public workspace is indexable, and stays that way until you turn No-Indexing on.
*   **A non-public workspace is `noindex` regardless of this toggle.** If your site is private or password-protected, Dewstack marks it `noindex` and serves a `robots.txt` of `Disallow: /` whatever the setting says. You cannot accidentally expose a gated site to a crawler by leaving this off. See [Access and content sharing](/docs/hosting/access-and-content-sharing).

Leave the meta fields empty and each page falls back to its own title and first paragraph.

### Sitemap and robots.txt

Public workspaces serve `/sitemap.xml` – every **published** page and child page, with absolute URLs – and a `/robots.txt` that allows crawling and points at the sitemap. Private and password-protected workspaces return 404 for the sitemap and `Disallow: /` in robots.

The same robots file points crawlers at `/llms.txt` and `/llms-full.txt`, the machine-readable copies of your docs. Those are covered in [AI-ready docs](/docs/ai-ready-docs/why-ai-ready).

## Cookie box

**Customize → Cookie Box** shows a consent notice to visitors. The toggle is **Display Cookie Box**, and four fields build the notice:

| Field | What it is |
| --- | --- |
| Cookie Message | The sentence shown to the visitor |
| Policy Label | The link text, e.g. "Privacy Policy" |
| Policy Link | The URL that link opens |
| Button Label | The text on the accept button |

Dewstack does not write the policy for you and does not block anything until consent is given – the box is a notice with a link and an acknowledgement button. If your site loads [Google Analytics](/docs/integrations/google-analytics) or a [custom script](/docs/integrations/custom-script), check what your jurisdiction requires before relying on this alone.

## The "Made with Dewstack" badge

**Customize → Dewstack Badge** has one toggle: **Display 'Made with Dewstack' Badge**.

On, a small floating badge sits at the **bottom left** of your docs site, above the footer, on every page, and links to dewstack.com. Off, nothing renders.

The badge is not tied to a plan – you can turn it off on any workspace. Leaving it on is a courtesy, not a requirement.
