How to handle the "Enhanced ad privacy in Chrome", which usually happens up on upgrading to latest version of Chrome?

Issue Description: How to handle the "Enhanced ad privacy in Chrome" pop-up, which usually happens up on upgrading to latest version of Chrome. Due to the below pop-up UI Automatons fails to run while interacting with the browser.


Root cause: The Enhanced ad Privacy in Chrome is not something that the UiPath is controlling. This pop up was introduced from Chrome 111+.

Resolution: The pop-ups can be disabled using "PrivacySandboxPromptEnabled" Group Policy.

If this policy is set to Disabled, then Google Chrome won’t show the Privacy Sandbox prompt. If this policy is set to Enabled or kept it unset, then Google Chrome determines whether the Privacy Sandbox prompt can be shown or not and then shows it if possible.

If any of the following policies are set, it is required to set this policy to Disabled:

PrivacySandboxAdTopicsEnabled

PrivacySandboxSiteEnabledAdsEnabled

PrivacySandboxAdMeasurementEnabled

  • true = Allow Google Chrome to determine whether to show the Privacy Sandbox prompt
  • false = Do not show the Privacy Sandbox prompt to users.

Note: Check with the internal IT Team (System Administrator) who manages the GPOs.

  1. Open Registry Editor.
  2. Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome".
  3. If you don't see the "PrivacySandboxPromptEnabled" -> Create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value -> Provide to it the value 0 (in Decimal) or 0x00000000 (in Hexadecimal).
  4. Restart the machine to apply the change.
