Possible Values


no-referrer No referrer information is sent
no-referrer-when-downgrade Default. Sends the origin, path, and query string if the protocol security level stays the same or is higher (HTTP to HTTP, HTTPS to HTTPS, HTTP to HTTPS is ok). Sends nothing to less secure level (HTTPS to HTTP is not ok)

Remarks

The referrerpolicy attribute, if present, specifies which referrer information to send when the user clicks on a hyperlink.

It is purely advisory. User agents must not consider the attribute authoritative.

The value must be a valid referrerpolicy string, as enumerated above.
