Clear Browsing Data on Exit

Configures a list of browsing data types that should be deleted when the user closes all browser windows. The available data types are browsing history (browsing_history), download history (download_history), cookies (cookies_and_other_site_data), cache(cached_images_and_files), autofill (autofill), passwords (password_signin), site settings (site_settings) and hosted apps data (hosted_app_data). This policy does not take precedence over AllowDeletingBrowserHistory.

This policy requires the SyncDisabled policy to be set to true, otherwise it will be ignored. If this policy is set at platform level, Sync should be disabled at platform level. If this policy is set at user level, Sync should be disabled for that user in order for this policy to take effect.

If Google Chrome does not exit cleanly (for example, if the browser or the OS crashes), the browsing data will be cleared the next time the profile is loaded.

Example value:

browsing_history
download_history
cookies_and_other_site_data
cached_images_and_files
password_signin
autofill
site_settings
hosted_app_data

Supported on: At least Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 family
