IOS: App rejected because of App Tracking Transparency on WebView

I'm working on an app made in React Native with Expo.

It uses a web view to show the site in the app.

Everything worked well, but when I submitted my app to the App Store, it got rejected.

The mail said:

We noticed you collect data to track after the user selects "Ask App Not to Track" on the App Tracking Transparency permission request.

Specifically, we noticed your app accesses web content you own and collects cookies for tracking after the user asked you not to track them.

After that, using the expo tracking transparency library, I added a permission request to track data.

If the user doesn't accept it, I disable third party cookies on the web view.

After submitting again to the App Store, I got the exact same message.

I don't know what to do, because I can't control the site, and I'm limited to the React Native web view props

Maybe, I could enable incognito mode if the user doesn't want the app to track, but I'm not sure if this will be accepted too.

i had the same issue i solved it like this: change the privacy of the app on apple store, go to app privacy and in data types section click edit and select Identifiers (Device ID) and set this one as used for tracking purposes. and make sure that this is the only one selected as used for tracking.

also make sure that the permission is showing on real device (so test it first on TestFlight).

another thing is you need to tell them where you show this permission send them video to tell them where you show the permission.
