Default geolocation setting

Set whether websites can track users' physical locations. You can allow tracking by default ('AllowGeolocation'), deny it by default ('BlockGeolocation'), or ask the user each time a website requests their location ('AskGeolocation').

If you don't configure this policy, 'AskGeolocation' is used and the user can change it.

Policy options mapping:

* AllowGeolocation (1) = Allow sites to track users' physical location

* BlockGeolocation (2) = Don't allow any site to track users' physical location

* AskGeolocation (3) = Ask whenever a site wants to track users' physical location

Use the preceding information when configuring this policy.

Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 77, Windows 7 or later
