Is there a way to exclude the Googlebot from showing the popup oder a delay that shows the popup after x seconds?
Google made clear, that a popup covering the main content will harm the ranking and gdpr is no excuse. So how to deal with it?

Hi @meydot,

We have excluded the banner from indexation with an HTML attribute – data-nosnippet.
Please read https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2016/08/helping-users-easily-access-content-on.html for more information.

A consent banner can cover content, but it should be user-friendly and easily dismissable.

regards Aert
