App Tracking Transparency

Amidst the debates about cybersecurity and user data, Apple has developed a feature right in time that lets its users know what app or website wants to track them. Additionally, this feature will ask the user for their permission and only then redirect them to the website/app. This feature will be available on all new Apple software updates. While talking about this peculiar decision, Tim Cook said that the feature won't cause any hindrance to tech companies as previously subjected since digital advertising was previously possible even without tracking people.
