Facebook has announced an important new feature to give users more control over how their Facebook data is used – the option to totally delete browsing history.
This feature will enable you to see the websites and apps that send us information when you use them.
Also, delete this information from your account, and turn off our ability to store it associated with your account going forward.
FYI Facebook is able to track even non-users through their activity on sites which use Facebook’s Pixel and other data-tracking measures.
This new tool won’t necessarily stop that, but it will give users an easier way to remove their browsing history from Facebook’s servers.
They'll still provide apps and websites with aggregated analytics like age group, gender, etc things to the developer of the app/website.
It’s another measure of Facebook to help reassure users that their data is safe, or at least within their control.
