That's not how it works. Every ad vendor has a privacy page with this stuff spelled out in the same way.

That's for apps to track you, not for apple.

oh but they do. All of the apps you purchase, stocks you own, news stories you read, location of your phone/mac based on precise geolocation, your name, address, age, gender, oh and this too: > We may also use local, on-device proce

No they aren’t. Here https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/apple-advertisin... have a nice read. But summary is they use a bunch of stuff about the device (past purchases, location, fingerprinting-

one funny limitation for US only is the Jones Act from 1920, it requires that the vessels that install these offshore wind turbines to be built, owned, crewed and registered in US. And there aren't many boats that can install turbines

anyone using akamai as a CDN is having issues, if they use it also as a DNS they won't even resolve their primary domains.

I'm speaking to the author of the comment I replied to who basically states that the article was purely good because of the topic, without having any critical eye towards it. And the un-orderliness is in the title of the article commen

It's really not alright to step on the pulpit to point fingers left and right when your house is also not in order, it makes it seem more like you're trying to move forward your business agenda rather than really caring about the

Except Apple is putting its own ability to track you under a different opt-out (default opted-in) that isn't set when you first launch the iphone.

by dialtone 5y ago
what is there to be disappointed about? Did you really think Apple actually cares about privacy the way you intend privacy? Or do you think it's more likely for them to care about it with the definition that gives them the biggest mark

I replied. You are considering Apple's system better despite the fact that Apple's goal is to re create the web environment in their own apps so they can monetize it in their platform. So your argument is maybe valid (I don't

The link you posted examines the issue in detail, IP address on its own is already on its own a decent identifier at the household level, and used today, and that's why there is a specification on Willful IP Blindness proposed by Googl

The second paragraph you quote is literally the counter example of what I just said. There needs to exist a way to identify you in other ways and in the future cookies won't be one of those. So a site that has your information because

Once again that's not how fingerprinting works... This thing changes all the time so not sure what fingerprint it can generate.

This is a pretty naive argument and distinction as well. It's pretty obvious Apple doesn't have financially valuable properties on the web but they have plenty in their application ecosystem. In Apple's view Apple News is how

by dialtone 5y ago
Very thin distinction here given that they can still be purchased by advertisers and Apple has every interest in being the only company monetizing on their platform so the number of parties seeing this is irrelevant if the point was the sur

The cohort semantic meaning is stable, although not disclosed an ML system would learn its correlation to a given goal. Cohort membership changes pretty frequently instead. So the system may put all people that browse mostly golf sites toge

It is a very similar feature to Apple Segments[1] already implemented in iOS on which sadly not a lot of documentation is available. [1]: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205223

You can't use FLoC ID for fingerprinting, it changes continuously.

This has nothing to do with tracking to target ads. Facebook doesn't need Apple to execute that, people share data with FB voluntarily. This is about measuring the impact of advertising while following a standard published by Apple its

There's an approval process to be added to the PSL so abuses would be quite surprising and easy to remove when discovered.
23.
by dialtone 5y ago
Apple literally built a feature that requires addition to PSL to support a usecase that was addressed multiple times in the PrivacyCG meetings. How is this entitlement, they are following the Apple requirements.

by dialtone 5y ago
It's interesting because being added to the PSL reduces your ability to track users. So yeah, I have a bridge to sell you, interested?
25.
by dialtone 5y ago
The quotes are entirely appropriate because adding some domain to the PSL makes the subdomains siloed cookie-wise so they can't share cookies and the PSL cannot use cookies anymore. Since they can't share cookies you can't tr

The only way to discover this is to buy traffic from that cohort to actually test the behavior. That being said the first version of floc uses just the domain name of your history. I’m not sure how the insurance company gets that data thoug

The FLoC cohort changes pretty frequently with your history, I don't think you will be tagged for life with "insurance claims", but you could, for a period of time, show up as part of a group that looks interested in insuranc

Are you perhaps misunderstanding how the newsfeed works? People can write all clickbait they want, always have, but it wasn't until that content was forced in your face by Facebook's newsfeed algorithm, or youtube recommendation a

What are you talking about? Advertising and marketing are among the oldest concepts and jobs in history and have since the early days of tv or journalism paid for free content. If you have a new business idea that represents this third way.
