Following on from ITP 2.0 (Intelligent Tracking Prevention) released in 2018 across Apple devices, restricting the lifespan of third-party cookies, comes ITP 2.1 which focuses on first party cookies. Affiliate Networks such as ourselves combine traditional third party cookies with first party cookies to track sales.

ITP 2.1 will introduce new controls on some types of first party cookies, limiting their lifespan to 7 days. This will affect first party cookies set by Affiliate Networks, as well as Google Analytics which could be limited to 7-day sessions.

Based on network data from 2018, 3.50% of transactions across all Affiliates occur through Safari after 7 days, and its those which could be limited by the introduction of ITP 2.1

We wanted to make sure our Affiliates are fully informed of the potential effect. We have put together a report to see based on your own transactions, any effect of ITP 2.1. You can also view an overview of all network transactions as well.
