Capture the setting to prevent Google "A privacy reminder"

Hi

I'm setting up an environment based on latest Windows 10 1607, with mandatory profiles. Latest versions of all components, UEM, App Volumes, Horizon and so on.

I've created config to capture settings for Chrome, IE and Edge and these works find. Settings, browsing history and so on is captured and applied by UEM, but the privacy warning from Google keeps  returning on every logon.

Have anyone successfully captured this by UEM?

I can indeed confirm that this is a cookie. I tested this in my lab environment on Windows 10 using Internet Explorer 11.

For Internet Explorer 11 make sure to save the following file in addition to the Internet Explorer template to save cookies:

[IncludeFiles]

<LocalAppData>\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache\WebCacheV01.dat

Beware that this file may grow large. Also have a look at the following thread for more information --> Export import Cookies

For Google Chrome have a look at the following link: https://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-31428#comments

Does this answer your question?

Hi Gekken1​,

Can you provide us a screen shot and/or steps of when this happens? When does this reminder appear?

hi Ivan

Here is a screenshot, unfortunately in Norwegian, but maybe good enough to see the problem?

It is a reminder to all the legal stuff Google wants to inform. I'm pretty sure this is saved in a cookie, but so far I've not been able to get UEM to capture it.

Hi Ivan

The WebCache.V01.dat file did the trick Smiley Happy

However it seems to ad a few seconds to the loginprocess, but I'll look into that.

I'll see if I can get this to work for Chrome and Egde as well.

thank you for your help.
