That is a weird definition of tracking! By that definition, a single party that follows what you do over time is not tracking you?
That is separate from the question of whether or not Apple is actually doing this and not telling us (I'd bet they are), I'm just saying that that definition of tracking reads like it's from a parallel universe.
- shuckles 4y agoThe analogy isn’t particularly applicable. If you engaged with many Walmart stores and they recorded that, it wouldn’t be tracking. If a Walmart agent followed you into Target and recorded what you did, it would be. The Facebook pixel and other status quo data practices in the online advertising marketing look a lot more like the second than the first. It seems valuable to engage with that as an especially bad practice.
