I have a directory on my server that I do not want Search Engines to crawl and I already set this rule in robots.txt
I do want people that have logged in to be able to have access to this directory without having to enter a password or anything.
I am thinking that a cookie is the best thing to put on users computers after they login, and if they have a cookie, they can access the directory. Is this possible, or is there a better way?
I want people without this cookie to not have access to this directory - access for members only
Any suggestions on the best design for this?
