App Tracking Transparency implementation for a iOS app based on a WebView

I did many researches on the web but I did not find a clear answer to doubts.

I need to publish an update for my iOS app. Now it is mandatory that app implements App Tracking Transparency if the App privacy section states that the application is collecting data information.

My app consists in a WebView showing some pages of a web site. All tracking about user information (technical cookie, third party, etc..) happens inside the web view. However in App Privacy section I set that the app is collecting user information because of the cookies present on the web sites (Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, Analytics, etc..).

Now my questions are:

You have declare it. https://developer.apple.com/app-store/app-privacy-details/#additional-guidance

Your app has web views. Data collected via web traffic must be declared, unless you are enabling the user to navigate the open web.

By showing those WebViews your app IS collecting data (esp. if these are your "own" websites and not the "open web"). And it also reads like you can't display the website if the user did not comply to it or have another popup on the website itself.

Collection of the data occurs only in infrequent cases that are not part of your app’s primary functionality, and which are optional for the user.

And, if I'm reading correctly, your app is just a wrapper around those websites.
