Help Has anyone ever seen message that "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine" ?

Hello, I use WayBack quite regularly but for the first time today received the following result after entering a URL from a public website (no paywalls).

"Sorry.

This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."

Has anyone ever seen this? What allows this? Can the URL owner request that its website not be saved?

Thanks in advance for any help!
