Details:
A web form field collection consent toggle will be available in Autofill settings (edge://settings/autofill/personalInfo). This will allow users to consent to Microsoft Edge collecting web form field labels (e.g., "First Name," "Email") to improve Autofill suggestion accuracy. Only field labels are collected and not user-entered data. This new setting is manageable via existing policies in Autofill (e.g., AutofillAddressEnabled, AutofillMLEnabled). AutofillAddressEnabled is the parent setting for AutofillMLEnaled. The AutofillMLEnabled policy is the parent of this new setting, thus turning off the AutofillMLenabled policy will turn off this setting.

Direct effects for Operations**
User Privacy Concerns
The introduction of a consent toggle for collecting web form field labels may raise privacy concerns among users, leading to distrust in the browser's handling of personal information.
