These settings let you control when recommendations appear on your store using product tags.
They are useful if you want recommendations to show only on selected products, or never show on certain products.

✅ How these rules work together

The app applies rules in this order:

1. Only show if product has tag (gate rule)
2. Do not show if product has tag (override rule)
3. Exclude products from recommendations (final filter)

If a product matches an exclusion rule, it will not show recommendations, even if other rules allow it.
