 ## 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).
