Facebook Introduces New Privacy Setting Giving Users More Control of Ads
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. It would then serve you ads across the internet according to those preferences without giving the user the ability to turn the tracking off.
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.
