[Bug]: Edge GPO

Tools category

Harden Windows Security Module

Does your system meet the requirements?

• [X] Yes, my system meets the requirements 👍

Is your Windows installation genuine?

• [X] Yes, I am using genuine Windows installation. 💯

Please explain the bug

In the registry resources you search for this key: "Registry Keys",Edge,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\Recommended,BlockThirdPartyCookies,Block 3rd party cookies,DWORD,1,https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/configure-edge-with-mdm

The path is incorrect, but should rather be without the word Reccomended: https://admx.help/?Category=EdgeChromium&Policy=Microsoft.Policies.Edge::BlockThirdPartyCookies

It is correct.

This is the actual source, not that website https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#blockthirdpartycookies

[reuvygroovy]

From the admx files there are two entries

<policy class="Both" displayName="$(string.BlockThirdPartyCookies)" explainText="$(string.BlockThirdPartyCookies_Explain)" key="Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\Recommended" name="BlockThirdPartyCookies_recommended" presentation="$(presentation.BlockThirdPartyCookies)" valueName="BlockThirdPartyCookies">
  <parentCategory ref="microsoft_edge_recommended"/>
  <supportedOn ref="SUPPORTED_WIN7_V77"/>
  <enabledValue>
    <decimal value="1"/>
  </enabledValue>
  <disabledValue>
    <decimal value="0"/>
  </disabledValue>
</policy>

And two places in the GPO where they can be defined

We force this setting (using the 1st option), and not reccomended which can be overridden by the user.

I can't paste the XML from the admx so here is a screenshot which shows both:

@reuvygroovy I know. You can see that in the readme that I set it as recommendatory policy because setting it to blocked for all users can break websites that rely on 3rd party cookies.
