Hate Facebook tracking your web activity all the time? Turn it off

Facebook is notorious for tracking all the data of any user while on the web. But now you can avoid this tracking with the help of the feature called Off-Facebook Activity. This feature will let you browse the web without any worry of getting tracked by the company.

The matter of tracking activity and privacy on the Facebook platform is very much debatable. You can easily notice that the platform always tracks you when you roam on the web. For example, if you go to any e-commerce website like Amazon or Flipkart to see any product, you can see the same or similar ads of that product on your FB page. This might disturb you a lot that Facebook can track what you are doing on the net and it could also compromise your privacy to some extent.

To ease the tension of getting tracked all the time when you use the internet, the company provided the feature by the name of Off-Facebook Activity to stop the tracking. This privacy feature would become very handy to the users as they can control their activity of getting shared by other third party apps or sites with Facebook. You can be able to see which site shares your data with the social media company and it also monitors such activities of third-party apps.

So, when you activate this privacy feature, it will enable you to wipe out all the history of websites or apps that shared your data with this platform. You can use the future Off-Facebook activity to avoid any kind of data sharing with any other apps or sites with your profile by turning it off. You will also have the option to pick out any company to stop sharing any activity you do to avoid any ads of such a company.

With the help of the business tool of Facebook, you can find out the particular type of data any app or site is sharing with the platform. There, you can turn off future “off-Facebook activity” in your profile. You can stop your browsing or search activity data from getting shared with this platform.
