Cloudflare is giving publishers more control over how AI companies access their content, announcing a series of new policies and tools that automatically block AI training and AI agent crawlers from ad-supported pages while continuing to allow traditional search indexing. Beginning Sept. 15, the protections will become the default for new Cloudflare customers and newly added websites, with existing free customers automatically receiving the same settings unless they choose otherwise.
The company is also targeting so-called mixed-use crawlers that combine search indexing with AI data collection. Under the new policy, crawlers that do not clearly separate those functions could be blocked from accessing ad-supported content. Cloudflare is also adding analytics that let publishers see which AI companies are crawling their sites, how frequently they do so, and whether those visits generate meaningful referral traffic.
Cloudflare also outlined a broader vision for the economics of AI content. Building on its Pay Per Crawl initiative introduced last year, the company said it is developing a Pay Per Use model that would compensate publishers when their content contributes to AI-generated answers rather than simply when it is crawled.
Here are this week’s AI-powered martech releases and news.
