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