Oliver Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 This is a guide on how to block Facebook from tracking your internet activity. Did you know that if you are searching the internet, Facebook tracks every step you take? Facebook does it to improve their personalized ads. E.g. You search for nike t-shirt & will soon receive sponsored ads from nike in your newsfeed. (We all know that no one bats an eye about Facebook knowing that you search for nike t-shirts, imagine other stuff you search) ____________________________________________________________________ Step 1 Go to settings and click ads on the left bar. Step2 Click on third party sites and turn it to no one Do the same for ads and friends! Step3 Ads Based on your use of Website or Apps of Facebook. Click the Digital Advertising Alliance of either USA, Canada or European. Step 4 Choose your country and click on praferenz management. Step 5 The system is now collecting your status of all companies using 3rd party tracking for personalized ads. (Make sure that you have cookies in your browser activated) Step 6 Search for Facebook and turn it off. I would recommend you to turn everything off though! Step 7 Close everything and visit the Facebook settings again to make sure that everything worked. I recommend you to check your setting once a month (also the privacy settings) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
