"Online interest-based ads" are advertisements that rely on access to your browsing activity.Īlso say no to Ads on apps and websites off the Facebook companies, which covers all the non-Facebook parts internet where the company serves up ads-which is pretty much everywhere. Facebook somehow never got around to changing it.) (UPDATE: As it turns out, this setting doesn't actually do anything, and hasn't for years. Uncheck anything you don't want out there in the world, which is honestly probably all of it. This could have unintended consequences, especially if you've used Facebook to login to other sites! Only one way to find out, though.Īnd then scroll down just one more teensy bit to Apps Others Use, where you'll see about a dozen bits of information about you, like your birthday, or if you're online, that your friends might unwittingly be sharing with apps and websites. If you don't want Facebook bleeding into any other part of your online experience-that's games, user profiles, apps, you name it-then click Disable Platform. From that same Apps page, go down just a smidge further to Apps, Websites, and Plugins.
It feels like you should be done now, but you're not. If they ask for your User ID, you can find that back on the Apps page by clicking on the app in question and scrolling all the way down. To at least make the attempt, find the app on Facebook and send them a message. You have to contact them directly to ask them to delete it, and they're under no obligation to do so. Click Remove to make it official.Īn important note here: Those developers still have whatever data about you that they've collected up to this point.
You'll get a pop-up asking if you're sure. To revoke any of those permissions, go over and click the pencil.
For instance: I haven't used IFTTT in years, but for some reason it has access to my Friend list, my timeline, my work history, and my birthday. Either way, you can see not only what apps are there, but how much info they're privy to. Or maybe it is! I have friends who discovered well over a dozen apps lurking within the Logged in with Facebook pane I only have four, but that's because I did some spring cleaning recently.
