There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think this makes sense, but as I sort of prompted this PR I think it'd be worth @hannalaakso reviewing in case she can think of any reason why this would ever be problematic.
For users that don't know what data-nosnippet does, is there a better description for the changelog / PR title that focuses on the outcome of the change?
I also wonder if it'd also be useful to cross-reference the PR from GOV.UK where they added this in the commit message? Just as 'prior art'.
Great spot adding the missing README as well.

The data-nosnippet attribute stops the 'show' text from appearing in any Google Search text snippets. We have successfully used a similar approach for the [cookie banner](#2192) and on [GOV.UK Publishing components](alphagov/govuk_publishing_components#1185)

Implemented on the GOVUK Frontend cookie banner component in: alphagov/govuk-frontend#2192 This tells Google to ignore the cookie banner when it indexes the content of our pages.

Taken inspiration from alphagov/govuk_publishing_components#1185
Apply a
data-nosnippetattribute to the cookie banner component to stop its text content appearing in Google Search snippets.We think we can make this change without adding a macro option to remove the attribute, as we can't think of a scenario where you would want the cookie banner text to appear in Google Search snippets.
