Default app data sharing??

Question

Default app data sharing??

hi all..

hope someone can help..

basically is it possible for default ios apps to share data between them..

example:

my old iphone3.. Had youtube and google maps as a default app along with safari etc..

would it be possible for google to set some form of tracker/cookie into those apps (that cant be deleted without restoring the device) and then when tou use google on safari, for google to then track you using the data stored within the youtube or map application?

thank you.

I know where youre coming from regarding if the app was build for that.

However, if that example i gave was correct.. Then that would mean even though you were deleting all cookies and data from safari.. Then google would still be able to track you throughout their services due to the cookie/data stored in the map app or youtube app. like dome sort of supercookie.

would Apple have allowed this?

cheers for your reply.
