Sitemap and Privacy Policy marked for duplicate content?

[calliek]

On a recent crawl, Moz flagged a page of our site for duplicate content. However, the pages listed are our sitemap and our privacy policy -- both very different:

http://elearning.smp.org/sitemap/

http://elearning.smp.org/privacy-policy/

What is our best option to address this issue? I had considered a noindex tag on the privacy policy page, but since we have enabled user insights in Google Analytics we need to have the privacy policy displayed and I worry that putting a noindex on the page would cause problems later.

Maybe you should try re-indexing the pages (search console)

Just ignore it, duplicate content is not a real issue. Definitely not in this case. What Moz is looking at is the overlap in code, if the code is for xx% the same they'll mark it as duplicate. That's why it isn't super intelligent, also don't worry about duplicate content and Google itself. Only if you really mess it up, you'll get yourself in trouble.
