SSL Settings: Ignore Client Certificates

I am a little confused by what the client is talking about. I installed "IGNORE" client certificates in my SSL settings. But I'm worried if this is normal or not. Can someone explain to me the difference or importance of these three. and which one is most commonly used / recommended?

thanks

Client certificates are used for client-side authentication of an SSL connection. Usually, by default, you do not need to request a client certificate, since the server can serve thousands of clients, and the only way to authenticate the client (and it makes sense) is that the server and clients are part of the same PKI infrastructure (which practically means part of that same organization).
Therefore, if you do not ask about your browser, everything is fine. There is no danger to fear on your side. Even worse, what could happen is that you won’t be able to connect to sites that actually authenticate clients
