## Disabling telemetry reporting
You can disable telemetry collection by setting `codeQL.telemetry.enableTelemetry` to `false` in your settings. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/code-security/codeql-for-vs-code/using-the-advanced-functionality-of-the-codeql-for-vs-code-extension/customizing-settings).
Additionally, telemetry collection will be disabled if the global `telemetry.telemetryLevel` setting is set to `off`. For more information about global telemetry collection, see [Visual Studio Code FAQ](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/faq#_how-to-disable-telemetry-reporting) in the {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} documentation.
