Facebook and third party cookies

It is the third party cookies that irritate me. When I use a free online service I feel some responsibility to trade information I generate when using that site for access. What I don't think I owe that company is the information I generate when visiting other sites. Third party cookies are the reason things show up as ads in Facebook that address something you have been doing online but not something you have been doing within Facebook (good explanation of first party and third party cookies).

Facebook claims it allows you to opt out of the way it uses off-site information to target you for ads. I hope the following quick tutorial will be enough to explain how you can set up Facebook to do this. You start by opening your settings.

There are a couple of ways to turn off this activity, but I am showing a way to first check on the information about you that Facebook has accumulated off-site. You will want to select the setting showing your Facebook information and then the option showing off-Facebook activity.

You should be able to learn about Off-Facebook activity.

This is how bad it gets. My off-site activity involved information from 137 apps and web sites. Now, to manage this use select the manage option appearing under more options.

Here will find the slider to turn off or on the collection of off-Facebook information.
