Safari's tracking policy is in large part intended to protect users against the Facebook ecosystem (even though, yes, it is not specific to Facebook or any other domain and just establishes policies for technical behavior): https://www.theverge.com/2018/6/4/17427000/wwdc-apple-safari-antitracking-facebook-like-share https://www.theverge.com/2018/6/4/17427000/wwdc-apple-safari...
> Cross-site tracking is tracking across multiple first party websites; tracking between websites and apps; or the retention, use, or sharing of data from that activity with parties other than the first party on which it was collected.
I think that having Facebook share tracking information with Repixel and in turn with Repixel's customers counts as "sharing of data from that activity with parties other than the first party on which it was collected," no?
- slynn12 7y agoWhere are you seeing that sentence that you quoted? I'm curious to take a look. I don't see it in the verge article that you linked to. Apologies if I'm missing something.
- geofft 7y agoSorry, that was unclear. That sentence is from the WebKit/Safari policy which I linked earlier in the thread. (The Verge article is a synthesis of the stated policy and the fact that the WWDC presentation clearly had a screenshot of blocking Facebook cookies.)
- slynn12 7y agoAll good, thanks for clarifying! I'll take a look tonight.
