Apple has declared its position regarding the tracking of users' activities on the Internet

Apple, through its WebKit team, released a new document this afternoon outlining its stance on user privacy on the web. Primarily with regard to information obtained from the Internet browser, with the help of various types of data and activity tracking.

The so-called The "WebKit Tracking Prevention Policy" is a collection of several ideas on which Apple builds its browser since Safari, and which should work for all Internet browsers that at least to some extent care about the privacy of their users. You can read the entire document <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1932/8043/files/200721_ODSTOUPENI_BEZ_UDANI_DUVODU__EN.pdf?v=1595428404" data-gt-href-en="https://en.notsofunnyany.com/">here</a>.

In the article, Apple first describes what methods of user tracking exist and how they work. That here we have some open methods (public or unclassified) and then also hidden ones that try to hide their activity. Tracking systems that contribute to the creation of a user's "Internet fingerprint" use many different methods, whether it is the normal movement of the device from site to site, through identification through various software and hardware identifiers that help create a virtual image of each user.

In the document, Apple continues to describe how it tries to disrupt individual methods and prevent them from working. The entire technical description can be found in the article, for the average user it is important that Apple takes the issue of Internet monitoring and user privacy very seriously. De facto, these things are as important to Apple as the issue of security of their operating systems as such.

The company insists that it is not going to let up in its efforts, and developers will respond to new tracking methods that appear in the future. Apple has been focusing more and more in this direction in recent years, and it is clear that the company sees it as a benefit that it can present to its users. Apple takes the privacy of its users quite seriously and slowly but surely made it one of the main benefits of their platform.
