Third-Party Interactions under Safari Control
Apple’s latest Safari update makes an even stronger commitment to protecting user privacy by limiting the ways in which third-party websites can interact with their browser. Safari now blocks all third party cookies by default, prevents sites from fingerprinting users, and offers improved protections against cross-site trackers. This ensures that users can browse the web securely and confidently knowing that their personal data is being kept secure. In addition, Safari also now offers improved protections against phishing and malware, making it even more difficult for malicious actors to target unsuspecting users.
