Reposting my earlier comment from [0]<p><i>This article is incorrect.</i><p>There does not appear to be a change between Safari 13.1 and Safari 14 for how it handles GA. I have tested it myself.<p>With Safari 13.1 Apple made a change [1] to their Intelligent Tracking Prevention that blocks all 3rd party cookies for cross site resources.<p>The only change in Safari 14 appears to be that it reports which domains have had cookies blocked. The Google Analytics beacon is still sent by the browser.<p>Benedict Evans (cited in article) since deleted his tweet, but this article seems not yet to have been updated.<p>[0] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23612140" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23612140</a><p>[1] <a href="https://webkit.org/blog/10218/full-third-party-cookie-blocking-and-more/" rel="nofollow">https://webkit.org/blog/10218/full-third-party-cookie-blocki...</a><p>Edit: it seems the article has been updated since earlier today, and now references tweets from myself and Simo. The article title is still very misleading.<p>Edit 2: Simo has now written up a post with more details: <a href="https://www.simoahava.com/analytics/no-safari-does-not-block-google-analytics/" rel="nofollow">https://www.simoahava.com/analytics/no-safari-does-not-block...</a>
This is just restating the article that was already discussed here, except with a tonne more annoying ads on the page:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23612140" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23612140</a>
