Description
This policy setting allows you to turn off Tracking Protection.
Tracking Protection helps users control whether third parties can automatically collect information about their browsing based on the sites that they visit. Tracking Protection does this by identifying third-party content that is used by multiple websites that users have visited.
If you enable this policy setting, Tracking Protection is disabled in all browsing sessions, and Tracking Protection data is not collected.
If you disable this policy setting, Tracking Protection is available for use.
If you do not configure this policy setting, it can be configured through the registry.
