How do I turn on Intelligent Tracking Prevention in Safari11? Is it the "ask websites not track me"? Also, what cookies should I set it at? Always allow?

"Ask" is the old functionality, which sends a "do not track header" that some dodgy advertisers ignore/work around. The new "prevent cross-site tracking" option is designed to work around the workarounds. It's a bit of a cat-and-mouse thing!
Nermal's right. The Do Not Track setting is a WWW standard, which providers and advertisers are supposed voluntarily comply with. They don't, so now Apple is one-upping them.

It should be right next to the "ask sites not to track me" option.
Wait, how come my safari is different??

I just installed Safari 11 and mine still looks like the older version without the cross site option. Does this need a "windows" style system reboot? I wouldn't think so but wanted to ask.
I don’t think safari have the cross site option at all. These guys are just pulling screenshots from an old beta. It doesn’t exists

Is it because you are running high Sierra? I thought this is a safari 11 feature I guess not

I guess that would appear to be the case. Particularly as it was mentioned in the keynote address about new features in High Sierra.
