Description
This policy controls how long specific types of browsing data are retained.
If Sync is enabled, this policy has no effect.
You can specify the following data types:
'browsing_history'
'download_history'
'cookies_and_other_site_data'
'cached_images_and_files'
'password_signin'
'autofill'
'site_settings'
'hosted_app_data'
Microsoft Edge periodically deletes data of the selected types that's older than the value set by 'time_to_live_in_hours'.
Expired data is removed 15 seconds after browser startup and every hour while the browser is running.
Note: Deleting cookies using this policy doesn't sign the user out of their profile, the user stays signed in.
Example value:
[
{
"data_types": [
"browsing_history"
],
"time_to_live_in_hours": 24
},
{
"data_types": [
"password_signin",
"autofill"
],
"time_to_live_in_hours": 12
}
]
