Does this affect Apple's ability to track its users?
- valparaiso 5y agoFor selling your data to third-parties? No.
- arielm 5y agoNot really. But Apple doesn’t use its data to sell you ads. Wait! They actually do. Apple allows targeting ads in the App Store by things that require data collection. So, a better answer might be “not right now” because no one is forcing it to play by its own rules.
- naravara 5y ago> Wait! They actually do. Apple allows targeting ads in the App Store by things that require data collection. AFAIK Apple's ad targeting is largely based on self-reported stuff like demographic information and what you're subscribed to in Apple News or Music. It's not doing the kind of massive log-ingestion and cross-site tracking to do psychographic profiling that people tend to find most problematic.
- Tagbert 5y agoApple’s App Store ads are keyword-based not based on user behavior.

- whoknowswhat11 5y agoApple asks about some of the tracking items on device setup
- zepto 5y agoNo, but that has already been opt-in for years.
