May Faceted Navigation via ajax #parameter cause duplicated content issues?

[lcourse]

We are going to implement a faceted navigation for an ecommerce site of about 1000 products.
Faceted navigation is implemented via ajax/javascript which adds to the URL a large number of #parameters.
Faceted pages are canonicalizing to page without any parameters.

We do not want google to index any of the faceted pages at this point.

Will google include pages with #parameters in their index?
Can I tell google somehow to ignore #parameters and not to index them?
Could this setup cause any SEO problems for us in terms of crawl bandwidth and or link equity?

You can control parameter handling in Google Search Console and direct Google explicitly how to treat parameters.

If Google deems a parameter page worthy of being indexed it will index. But if you edit the parameter handling in GSC as mentioned above, they will usually/always follow that.

If you get links to a parameter URL and it canonicalizes to the non-parameter, that link equity should flow just find to the non-param page. Triple check meta robots, robots.txt, canonicalization setting to be sure.
