I came across this in message boards on macrumors.com.
Apple decided to enable tracking by default in iOS 6. To opt out, go to Settings -> General -> About -> Advertising and turn ON the Limit Ad Tracking option (OFF by default).
There's more information on what this is all about on Apple's website. The tracking information is used to tailor advertising from the iAd network. By disabling this, you'd still get advertisements, but they will be random rather than tailored based on information in an application or other non-personal information on the phone.
If you ever restore the phone, the setting will default back to OFF and must be enabled again.

You can opt out of receiving interest-based ads from AT&T by updating your preferences here.
