It uses machine learning to know how a user interacts with a website and then it deals with third-party cookies, ads, and trackers. Check the ITP under the feature of "Safari Privacy Reports". ITP may conflict with the websites, which use an authentication service. 

They prevent the website from creating a successful connection for authentication purposes and hence get stuck within the same environment. This further leads to the redirection error. In order to fix this problem, disable the ITP.
