Disable Topics API

Disable Topics API

Details
View on WordPress

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.

More information about the Topics API and it’s predecessor “FLoC” can be found here:
