1.88 (L1) Ensure 'Edge 3P SERP Telemetry Enabled' is set to 'Disabled'

Information

This policy setting controls Edge3P Telemetry in Microsoft Edge. Edge3P Telemetry captures the searches a user does on third-party search providers without identifying the person or the device.

The recommended state for this setting is: Disabled.

Enabling this feature sends data to a third-party service, which could lead to sensitive data being exposed.

Solution

To establish the recommended configuration via GP, set the following UI path to Disabled :

Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Edge 3P SERP Telemetry Enabled

Note: This Group Policy path may not exist by default. It is provided by the Group Policy template MSEdge.admx/adml that can be downloaded from Microsoft from Download Edge for Business https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download.

Impact:

Data will not be sent to a third-party.
