No. But you can hide these pages so that search engines cannot index them.

Replicate your taxonomies as a folder structure under `/content/` and then in the` _index.md` add the following parameter:

```
+++
hidden = "true"
+++

```

And then in the head partial of your site you could include

> `{{ with .Params.hidden }}<meta name="robots" content="noindex">{{ end }}`

Also change your `sitemap.xml` template under `/layouts/` to:

```
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  {{ range .Data.Pages }}{{ if not .Params.hidden }}
  <url>
    <loc>{{ .Permalink }}</loc>
    {{ with .Sitemap.ChangeFreq }}
    <changefreq>{{ . }}</changefreq>{{ end }}{{ if ge .Sitemap.Priority 0.0 }}
    <priority>{{ .Sitemap.Priority }}</priority>{{ end }}
  </url>
  {{ end }}{{ end }}
</urlset>

```
