Hello Adam2467,


This page can help provide some info regarding reasons that the option to enable the "Allow Apps to Request to Track" setting may be disabled, including the age: If an app asks to track your activity - Apple Support


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*


As the page will note at the bottom, this age will vary based on region so it may be different from the noted age for your area.


Cheers.
