Google is not okay with cloaking, but they will whitelist publishers if the publisher specifically includes a parameter that declares if the site requires registration or subscription. This is done in the sitemap.

- slig 11y agoI didn't know that, thanks. But reading, it seems that option is about Google News, not the main Google Search. > News-specific tag definitions > Yes, if access is not open, else should be omitted > Possible values include "Subscription" or "Registration", describing the accessibility of the article. If the article is accessible to Google News readers without a registration or subscription, this tag should be omitted.
