Default geolocation setting

Setting the policy to 1 lets sites track the users' physical location as the default state. Setting the policy to 2 denies this tracking by default. You can set the policy to ask whenever a site wants to track the users' physical location.

Leaving the policy unset means the AskGeolocation policy applies, but users can change this setting.

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