How Cookie Tracking Works & Beating iOS ITP in Point Activity

How cookie tracking works

Point-activity tracking works like this: the point site "issues a tracking cookie when you transition to the advertiser's site" → once you complete the application, it ties the offer to you based on that cookie. If this cookie "breaks," the offer isn't approved.

The impact of iOS ITP

iOS's Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) is a technology that force-deletes Safari's third-party cookies short-term. It's the biggest obstacle to going via point activity.

  • Via iOS Safari: 30–50% non-approval risk
  • iOS Chrome: also WebKit-based, so ITP affects it too
  • iOS in-app browser: cookie management is independent, somewhat better

Solution: iOS users should go via the point site's dedicated app. The in-app browser is less affected by ITP.

Ad blockers

Ad blockers like Brave / uBlock Origin / AdGuard can mistakenly block point-activity tracking cookies.

Solution: Make a point-activity-dedicated browser and disable the ad blocker there.

Private browsing

Safari / Chrome incognito mode deletes all cookies when the session ends → tracking completely NG. Never use it.

Workaround summary

  1. On iOS, go via the dedicated appInstall the point site's official app from the App Store.
  2. On Android / PC, use a dedicated browserMake one Chrome / Edge point-activity-only, with no ad blocker.
  3. Confirm cookie acceptance before applying"Accept all cookies" in the site settings.
  4. Stick strictly to normal modeIncognito / private is NG.
  5. Complete it within one session"Via point activity → advertiser site → application complete" without interruption.

FAQ

Does a disabled cookie mean 100% no offer?
Not 100%, but the odds drop sharply — sometimes to around 50%.
Any remedy if an offer isn't approved?
You can file an "offer investigation request" with the point site, attaching evidence (the completion screen, the email). PointIncome has a "shopping guarantee."
