The cat's out of the bag when it comes to individual online privacy and certain kinds of data.
There are still some things I do personally which I can only say at this point, that I **think** may make a difference, and honestly, I'm sure, bless my heart on this, but I use Apple products because they at least claim to have better privacy features than Amazon and Google. I have my own domain and own email service and don't send sensitive emails through free services.
I don't think I ever accept all cookies. Yeah. Bless my heart, right?

I made the switch from Android to Apple for that reason. Even with Siri’s speech recognition, it’s processed directly to the device, minimizing data sent to external servers. At least that’s what the tech told me at the Apple Store, haha.
Apple is actually a leader in consumer privacy. But technically no system is really entirely impervious to vulnerabilities tho.
