Hello Sheepy1230,


We want to protect child accounts privacy and security.


If an app asks to track your activity - Apple Support covers this topic in the quoted part below:


In some circumstances, the “Allow Apps to Request to Track” setting is disabled, including: 
For users with child accounts or under age 18 by birth year, signed in with their Apple ID
*Child account age varies by country and region. 

We hope this helps.


Cheers.

Sheepy1230,


As further noted in the same resource:


"In these cases, all apps that request to track are denied permission by default and do not receive the IDFA. If the status of your account or device changes, and you subsequently choose to enable “Allow Apps to Ask to Track,” then the app's next request to track will display the permission prompt to you."

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.
