On iOS, load a website in Safari, tap AA, then tap Privacy Report. The new version has been out for just over a week, and here’s what I see today:

On the Mac, click the shield icon in the toolbar to see what’s being blocked on the current website, then click the (i) to see the full report, which shows data for the past 30 days. In Safari 14, you can see a privacy report. ITP also contains other tools that "prevent advertisers and websites from using the unique combination of characteristics of a device to create a ‘fingerprint’ to track the user online." Apple gives more details about these tools in this Safari white paper from November, 2019, and developer Simo Ahava has a very detailed look at how ITP works. Safari on all of Apple’s operating systems offers a setting to block all cookies – it’s in the same place as the cross-site tracking setting – but if you turn this on, you’ll find that many websites won’t work at all. What it does is prevent them from accessing cookies and collecting certain types of data. But Safari does not block trackers this could break websites. In addition to trackers, widgets on websites, such as share buttons or comment fields, can also track you, and Safari acts on these as well.

All of this takes place on your Mac or iPhone, so Apple doesn’t know anything about your browser activity.
ITP also learns which domains track you, then it isolates and purges the tracking data that these websites try to store on your device. To begin with, Apple uses DuckDuckGo’s Tracker Radar database of trackers, which is regularly updated as new trackers are found. The feature also works in third-party browsers on the Mac and on iOS devices.
Over the past few years, Apple has introduced and strengthened Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), a tool in Safari that "uses on-device machine learning to block cross-site tracking, while still allowing websites to function normally." On by default (you can turn Prevent Cross-Site Tracking off if you need to in Safari > Preferences > Privacy on Mac, or in Settings > Safari > Privacy & Security), this feature prevents companies from tracking your activity across the web and creating profiles for you, which they do in order to serve ads. In this article, I’m going to explain how Apple’s Intelligent Tracking Prevention protects your privacy, and what the new Privacy Report tells you. Also version 14, this new version of Safari includes the new Privacy Report feature, that tells you about trackers that the browser has blocked. When Apple released iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 last week, the company also released a new version of the Safari web browser for Mac. Security & Privacy Understanding Safari’s New Privacy Report
