Disable Topics API

v1.3 · by WP Chill

Disables Google's Topics API tracking for your website's visitors by adding a 'Permissions-Policy' HTTP header.

About this plugin

This plugin adds an HTTP header to your WordPress website that disables Google’s Topics API tracking. The following header will be added:

Permissions-Policy: browsing-topics=()

If an existing ‘browsing-topics’ value is found, the plugin will not change that value or add an additional one.
