AI Crawl Policy
Last Updated: April 22, 2026
StickerGiant welcomes responsible crawling and indexing that helps people discover accurate, up-to-date information about our custom stickers and labels.
This page explains what automated agents may access on https://www.stickergiant.com and our Help Center (https://support.stickergiant.com), and how to do so without disrupting customers.
Authoritative crawl instructions are in robots.txt:
https://www.stickergiant.com/robots.txt
https://support.stickergiant.com/robots.txt
This policy page is explanatory and does not override robots.txt.
STRUCTURED AI CONTENT
For AI assistants seeking a structured overview of StickerGiant's products, categories, and policies, see our dedicated AI content file:
https://www.stickergiant.com/llms.txt
This file follows the llmstxt.org standard and provides a curated, structured map of our most important URLs and product configuration information.
WHAT WE WANT AI SYSTEMS TO DO
We support:
Indexing for search and answer engines, so our pages can appear as cited sources
Quoting small snippets with attribution and a link back to the canonical StickerGiant URL
User-initiated fetching, when a person explicitly asks an assistant to open a StickerGiant page
We do not support:
Attempts to bypass access controls (CAPTCHAs, authentication walls, etc.)
High-rate scraping that impacts site performance or customer experience
Crawling that targets personal data, customer accounts, or order details
ALLOWED AREAS
Unless a more specific rule appears in robots.txt for your user-agent, StickerGiant generally permits crawling of:
Product category and product detail pages (stickers, labels, and related product pages)
Educational content and blog articles
Public policy pages (returns, terms, privacy)
Help Center articles (public support content)
DISALLOWED AREAS
StickerGiant does not permit automated crawling of:
Checkout and payment pages
Account, login, and authenticated pages
Customer-specific pages (order history, saved designs, account settings)
Any URLs that expose personal data or order details
Internal search endpoints or URL parameters that generate excessive page combinations
If you encounter access controls or rate limiting, please back off and retry later.
RATE LIMITS AND CRAWL BEHAVIOR
To keep StickerGiant fast for customers:
Use reasonable request rates and respect server response codes
Honor Crawl-delay directives in robots.txt and back off on 429 and 503 responses
Prefer caching and conditional requests (ETag / If-Modified-Since) where supported
BOT IDENTIFICATION AND TRANSPARENCY
Please:
Use a stable, truthful user-agent string — do not impersonate browsers or other bots
Provide a contact email in your user-agent or via a standard header where possible
TRAINING VS. SEARCH INDEXING
Many providers operate separate crawlers for different purposes:
Search/indexing crawlers surface StickerGiant pages as cited sources in answer and search experiences
Training crawlers collect content that may be used to train AI models
StickerGiant manages these separately via per-agent rules in robots.txt. If you operate both a training and an indexing crawler, please use distinct user-agent strings so we can apply appropriate rules to each.
Page-level training controls may also be applied via meta tags on specific pages (for example, pages featuring user-uploaded artwork or custom designs).
PROVIDER-SPECIFIC NOTES
Google operates separate crawlers for different purposes:
Googlebot — web search indexing
Google-Extended — Gemini, Vertex AI, and Google AI products (training and AI search features)
We manage access for each via separate rules in robots.txt.
OpenAI
OpenAI documents separate user-agents for:
OAI-SearchBot — search indexing (cited sources in ChatGPT search)
GPTBot — training data collection
ChatGPT-User — user-initiated fetches
We manage automated access via robots.txt per user-agent.
Microsoft / Bing Copilot
Bingbot — Bing search indexing; Microsoft Copilot draws from the same index
Bingbot with Copilot context surfaces StickerGiant content in Microsoft 365 and Copilot experiences
We manage automated access via robots.txt.
Perplexity
Perplexity documents:
PerplexityBot — search indexing
Perplexity-User — user-initiated requests
We manage automated access via robots.txt.
Anthropic
Anthropic documents:
ClaudeBot — Claude's web access and search
anthropic-ai — training data collection
Anthropic supports Crawl-delay and robots.txt controls. Anthropic does not currently publish fixed IP ranges. We manage automated access via robots.txt per user-agent.

The purpose of crawling (indexing, training, or other)
