# Crawler policy and the reasoning behind it: docs/crawler-access.md
#
# Search and answer-engine crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot, OAI-SearchBot,
# Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Applebot) are allowed by the "*" group
# below. User-initiated fetchers (ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User)
# act for a person and may not consult robots.txt at all.
# Do not give any of them a group of its own: a crawler that finds a group
# naming it stops reading "*", so a later rule added to "*" would silently
# stop applying to it.

User-agent: *
Allow: /

# Model training and AI grounding: ALLOWED. E and J Furniture decided on
# 2026-09-12 that AI companies may train on the site, so these crawlers
# follow "*". To opt out later, uncomment the block below. That stops
# OpenAI, Anthropic and Apple training on
# the site, Gemini Apps and Vertex AI grounding answers in it
# (Google-Extended), Meta using it for AI training or product indexing
# (meta-externalagent), and Common Crawl archiving it (CCBot). It does not
# affect Google Search or AI Overviews, Apple search, ChatGPT search (GPTBot is
# separate from OAI-SearchBot), Claude search or Perplexity search.
