Why does my iCloud say I'm under 18?

I was going through my phone and even though i am 18 years of age my iCloud still says i am under the age of 18. App tracking is not allowing me to turn it on to save progress and so on. How do i fix this?

From --> If an app asks to track your activity - Apple Support

"In some circumstances, the ‘Allow Apps to Request to Track’ setting can't be turned on, including:

For users with child accounts or who are under age 18 by birth year, signed in with their Apple Account*

If your Apple Account is managed by an educational or business institution

If your device is managed and uses a configuration profile that limits tracking

If your Apple Account was created in the last 3 days"


Note it says by birth year. Even if you are 18, if it is going by year then the year could still be making it think you are 17.
