Because of this inheritance behavior, it is a good idea to specify the widest acceptable support for a feature in the HTTP header, and then specify the subset of support you need in each .\n\nThe general syntax looks like this\n\nSo for example to block all access to geolocation, you would do this\n\nTo apply a policy to the current origin and others, you'd do this\n\nThis is important: By default, if an navigates to another origin, the policy is not applied to the origin that the navigates to. By listing the origin that the navigates to in the allow attribute, the Permissions Policy that was applied to the original will be applied to the origin the navigates to.\n\nSeveral features can be controlled at the same time by including a semi-colon-separated list of policy directives inside the allow attribute.\n\nIt is worth giving the src value a special mention. We mentioned above that using this allowlist value will mean that the associated feature will be allowed in this , as long as the document loaded into it comes from the same origin as the URL in its {{HTMLElement('iframe','src','#Attributes')}} attribute. This value is the _default_ allowlist value for features listed in allow, so the following are equivalent\n\n> [!NOTE] > As you'll have noticed, the syntax for policies is a bit different to the syntax for Permissions-Policy headers. The former still uses the same syntax as the older Feature Policy specification, which was superseded by Permissions Policy.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
