In some circumstances, the "Allow Apps to Request to Track" setting is disabled, including:
  • For users with child accounts or under age 18 by birth year, signed in with their Apple ID
  • If your Apple ID is managed by an educational institution or uses a configuration profile that limits tracking
  • If your Apple ID was created in the last 3 days

Some users who fall outside of these cases are still seeing the option grayed out. Signing out and back in iCloud may resolve the issue.
