Surprise, surprise - Apple, by default, tracks web browsing behaviour and location to better serve you ads. You have to
specifically opt out of this tracking per individual iOS device that you own. Now we know why Apple has no problem with
turning on 'Do Not Track' and
not accepting tracking cookies by default: it has no effect on them whatsoever, because iOS 6 has its own independent user tracking mechanisms. Unlike what the Apple pundits claim, it's got nothing to do with respect for user privacy at all. Well paint me red and call me a girl scout: company selling ads tracks user behaviour. Shocker, huh?

iOS has an ad system; you see ads in apps. The two options are:
• See ads that have absolutely no relevance to you
• See ads that you might actually like
There is no utopic third option.
I'll keep tracking on, thank you very much.
(Also note that iAd is only available in a handful of countries: USA, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, and Canada.)
