Description

Prevents the manual deletion of YouTube cookies.

This policy is intended to prevent users from accessing unauthorized YouTube after manually clearing their YouTube cookies from the site settings page.

Setting the policy to Enabled prevents YouTube cookies from being manually deleted.

Setting the policy to Disabled or not set allows YouTube cookies to be deleted normally.

Note: This policy only prevents manual deletion from the site settings UI. It does not prevent automated deletion by the ClearBrowsingDataOnExitList or BrowsingDataLifetime policies. Furthermore, if the AllowDeletingBrowserHistory policy is enabled, users can still clear all their cookies via the Clear Browsing Data dialog.
