Question

Should I ask websites not to track me when I allow cookies?

Callum Mcneill

Community Answer

Unless you don't want your activity on that site tracked, I would just recommend accepting their cookie policy. It helps them personalise your feed.

Check if your iPad Browser is updated. You can reset the browser and modify the setting of your browser. Once updated, it should work.

How do I change my web browser?

Jackson Stewart

Community Answer

Download an app like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Make that app easily accessible. like in your dock. Then you can just use that browser. On iPad you can't really change your default browser.

Question

What is cross-site tracking?

Jackson Stewart

Community Answer

Some companies like Facebook do this. Even if you aren't visiting Facebook's website, they still can track you. Have you ever seen a Facebook like button, or a share to Facebook button? Those buttons track you even if you aren't on Facebook's website.

I know how to unblock cookies but my online banking doesn’t recognize this. Is there an alternative way on my 7th Generation iPad? My older one is, to a problem.

Maybe you should use another browser to see if that fixes the issue. If the problem still persists, then contact your bank for further assistance.
