Incorrect.<p>All requests to metrics.apple.com and securemetrics.apple.com are going directly to Adobe Analytics, a third party analytics provider and part of the larger Adobe Marketing Cloud. The only reason the requests appear as 1st-party is down to Apple going through a few relatively simple steps that most companies do to configure their DNS to route a certain sub-domain specific to their analytics to an Adobe server and completing a first-party ssl cert request&#x2F;setup process. Once the data enters the Adobe Marketing Cloud, depending on their specific implementation, they can then link that data across all kinds of other Adobe Marketing Cloud platforms to both track and target your ass down to the millisecond like everyone else. Boom, you&#x27;ve been third-partied.<p>Adobe bought Demdex for fucks sake. 1st or 3rd party means jack shit these days.
