I'm working on a site that has a speedbump set up to give a disclaimer when visitors leave our site for another. We then have a whitelist of URLs for external sites where this speedbump does not pop up. The source code for these whitelisted sites is placed in the source code of each page within paragraph tags that aren't visible on the webpages but are within the code.
It looks as though this gets crawled as on page content by tools like SEMRush. Does it likewise get crawled as content by Google?

Google does crawl and see content in the page that is hidden by default. However Google does not usually index content that is initially hidden. Googlebot now renders pages and indexes the parts of the page that are visible on page load.
Occasionally Google will index hidden content if it knows it can easily be shown. When it does so, it usually gives it much less weight than other text on the page and it will be unlikely to rank well.
