Description

OBSOLETE: This policy is obsolete and doesn't work after Microsoft Edge 88.

This policy is no longer supported. It's replaced by 'DiagnosticData' (Send required and optional diagnostic data about browser usage) (for Windows 7, Windows 8, and macOS) and Allow Telemetry on Win 10 ([https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2099569](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2099569)).

This policy enables sending info about websites visited in Microsoft Edge to Microsoft to improve services like search.

Enable this policy to send info about websites visited in Microsoft Edge to Microsoft. Disable this policy to not send info about websites visited in Microsoft Edge to Microsoft. In both cases, users can't change or override the setting.

On Windows 10, if you don't configure this policy, Microsoft Edge defaults to the Windows diagnostic data setting. If this policy is enabled Microsoft Edge only sends info about websites visited in Microsoft Edge if the Windows Diagnostic data setting is set to Full. If this policy is disabled Microsoft Edge won't send info about websites visited. Learn more about Windows Diagnostic data settings: ([https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2099569](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2099569)).

On Windows 7, windows 8, and macOS, this policy controls sending info about websites visited. If you don't configure this policy, Microsoft Edge defaults to the user's preference.

To enable this policy, 'MetricsReportingEnabled' (Enable usage and crash-related data reporting) must be set to Enabled. If 'SendSiteInfoToImproveServices' (Send site information to improve Microsoft services) or 'MetricsReportingEnabled' is Not Configured or Disabled, this data won't be sent to Microsoft.
