iOS 14 + Data Privacy: What You Need To Know [In-Depth Guide]

Conversations around data ownership and privacy have accelerated in recent years as regulatory bodies and companies around the world grapple with how much control individuals should have over their personal data. Apple’s iOS 14 launch and subsequent updates are the most recent examples of this trend in action, moving us ever closer to the cookie-less world that seems more inevitable by the day.
