How to prevent specific pages from being indexed

Boyi · ‎07-18-2023

Context:

We have set up privacy policy and terms of service as individual pages (/pages) instead of setting them up at the policies settings where the content will show under (/policies)
For pages setup under /policies, they are already blocked via robots.txt however, the same is not true for /pages
We have tried to add the following code in the <head> section of theme.liquid to prevent the page from being indexed:

Question:

Currently, when we inspect the pages, the "no-index" tag is not being reflected in the rendered HTML for both privacy policy and terms of service, what amendments are required?

put this code in theme.liquid

{% if template contains 'page' and canonical_url contains '/pages/privacy-policy'  or   template contains 'page' and canonical_url contains '/pages/terms-of-service'  %}

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">

{% endif %}
