# Policy CSP - KioskBrowser



These policies currently only apply to Kiosk Browser app. Kiosk Browser is a Microsoft Store app, added in Windows 10 version 1803, that provides IT a way to customize the end user's browsing experience to fulfill kiosk, signage, and shared device scenarios. Application developers can also create their own kiosk browser and read these policies using [NamedPolicy.GetPolicyFromPath(String, String) Method](/uwp/api/windows.management.policies.namedpolicy.getpolicyfrompath#Windows_Management_Policies_NamedPolicy_GetPolicyFromPath_System_String_System_String_).
