- amalcon 16y agoThis strikes me as a sketchy use of "opt-out": why would anyone actually want this? They're clearly hoping that most people either don't find out, or are too lazy to bother.
- benologist 16y agoThat's the whole point of opt out ... do something until someone really doesn't want it and then make them search to find out how to stop it.
- joejohnson 16y agoDoes that opt-out have to do with location though? The info page doesn't mention this when it explains how iAds will tailor advertisements to users. It does say "Apple and its partners use cookies and other technologies in mobile advertising services." Are you implying that 'other technologies' could mean geotagging?
- huhtenberg 16y agoAccording to the KB this opts one out "of receiving interest-based ads". This likely means that this does not stop Apple from collecting the tracking information. They just will not use it to serve you the ads.
