Restricting User Access to Cookie Settings in Microsoft Edge

My goal is to restrict user access to cookie settings in Microsoft Edge to prevent viewing key-value pairs stored in cookies by websites.

I tried configuring the following settings but did not achieve the expected output:

  • Setting: Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge
  • Policy Settings: "Block access to a list of URLs"
  • Value added: edge://settings/content

After applying the policy, when attempting to open the edge://settings/content page, it initially allows access, but upon refreshing the page, it becomes inaccessible with a warning message stating "settings is blocked - Your organization doesn't allow you to view this site." It seems the issue may be due to it being a local page and the policy applying late.

What can be done in this scenario, or are there alternative settings to achieve this goal?
