Disable Topics API

by Roy Tanck on WordPress.org

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

** This plugin is no longer being maintained, and is available for adoption. Please contact me if you’re interested in taking over development. **

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.
