Site tracking of a user’s location must be disabled.
Description
Discussion Text
Set whether websites can track users' physical locations. Tracking can be allowed by default ("AllowGeolocation") or denied by default ("BlockGeolocation"), or the user can be asked each time a website requests their location ("AskGeolocation").
If this policy is not configured, "AskGeolocation" is used and the user can change it.
Policy options mapping:
- AllowGeolocation (1) = Allow sites to track users' physical location.
- BlockGeolocation (2) = Do not allow any site to track users' physical location.
- AskGeolocation (3) = Ask whenever a site wants to track users' physical location.
