Facebook is tracking your every move on the Internet : How to Stop it?

Facebook before now had the right to track your every move on internet It would then serve you ads across the internet according to those preferences without giving the user the ability to turn the tracking off but now thanks to courts in US things have changed. Facebook has again updated its privacy settings, this time giving you a new option that allows more control over how much of your online activity the site tracks.

Users of the social network can now limit how their activity is used for non-Facebook Company site ads. Before last week’s update, the company had the ability to watch what sort of content you interact with the most on Facebook. 

You can still opt out of allowing Facebook, which claims 1.65 billion users worldwide, to track your activity on other websites to determine what kind of ads you see, just as before. The additional privacy setting will not override anything you previously selected on your account.

The new setting doesn’t eliminate ads from your Facebook page, but it ensures your activity on the site doesn’t inform what ads you’re shown on other internet sites not owned by the company.

Here’s how to opt out of ads in the new setting:

Step 1: Click the lock in the top-right corner of your Facebook profile, and select “See More Settings” at the bottom.

Step 2: On the left-hand side, select “Ads.”

Step 3: Next to the “Ads on apps and websites off of the Facebook Companies,” click “Edit.” Then set this option to “No.”
