note:

To ensure proper isolation between private and non-private data, web views associated with private data must use a different WKUserContentController. Likewise, to be identified as a private web view and to ensure that cookies and other website data is not shared, private web views must be configured to use a non-persistent WKWebsiteDataStore.
