Cloudflare lets site owners block AI training while staying discoverable in search

Cloudflare has introduced new controls that give website owners a way to stay discoverable in search while disallowing AI training. The company also launched an “Accountable” designation and established a shared model with Apple, Google, and Microsoft.

Cloudflare, known for its content delivery network and security services, made the announcement on September 15, 2026. The new controls aim to help site owners manage how their content is used by AI systems without sacrificing search visibility.
