Google’s Federated Learning of Cohorts is a new initiative to track internet users without their consent. This feature is already enabled by default for a small percentage of Google Chrome users, and is intended to be enabled for all users at the end of the experiment.
Developers can opt their websites out of FLoC by setting this HTTP header: Permissions-Policy: interest-cohort=().

This PR sets this header by default in the API Platform distribution.

For more information about FLoC read Google’s FLoC Is a Terrible Idea by @EFForg and How to fight back against Google FLoC by @plausible.
