Would this be first-party, or third-party cookies?

iPadOS 13/14/15 disable third-party cookies by design, using ITP (Intelligent Tracking Protection) - this being a significant enhanced privacy feature of the OS.

You’ll usually find that older sites, that still force third party cookies, will be automatically blocked - but you’ll often find that you’ll have a click-through option that allows you to enable cookies for the webpage for the duration of the session.
