It's not Apple that's tracking you. Look closely. The heading says Apple, but the actual tracker is adobedtm.com. Short for Adobe Dynamic Tag Management. It's a marketing tracker, which is why it shows up as blocked. What does it do?


Dynamic Tag Management enables marketers to manage tags for collecting data, and distribute data across digital marketing systems. For example, use Dynamic Tag Management to collect usage data for your AEM website and distribute the data for analysis in Adobe Analytics or Adobe Target.

Internet sites have always tracked you. It is only recently that Apple has made users aware just how much tracking is done. As BDAqua, says it’s all about money. When a website can track you, they know your browsing habits, they know which site you were viewing before hitting their site. They would know which site you viewed after leaving their site. Knowing this, they could serve up ads specifically targeted to you. Now that Apple helps prevent tracking, they no longer are able to know your website activities.
