The web address format for the manual site exclusion policy is: [scheme://][.]host[:port][/path][@query]
.
Here are some examples of how to add sites manually if you want to create an exclusion for:
- Entire domains and subdomains: Exclude the URL scheme. For example,
google.com
matches and prevents deactivation of subdomains like drive.google.com
and calendar.google.com
.
- Specific domains, but not any subdomains: Include a dot (.) before the URL host. For example,
.google.com
won't match and prevent deactivation of subdomains like www.google.com
, drive.google.com
, and calendar.google.com
.
- Specific subdirectory: Include the URL path. For example,
www.google.com/finance
matches and prevents deactivation of all Google Finance pages, but won't prevent deactivation of the www.google.com=
=main pages.
- URL host and query components: Asterisks () can be used as wildcards. For example,
https://*
matches and prevents deactivation of all https sites and youtube.com/watch?v=*
matches and prevents deactivation of YouTube videos.
- Wildcards for prefix, suffix, or substring matches of the URL host component aren't supported. For example,
*oogle.com
or google.com/*
won't match and prevent deactivation.
