Careful, Facebook can track you, even when you are logged out


The new changes in Facebook, apparently, are designed to make you a target of their advertising.

"Even if you are logged out, Facebook still knows and can track every page you visit," Cubrilovic wrote in a blog post.
"The only solution is to delete every Facebook cookie in your browser, or to use a separate browser for Facebook interactions."


Having to use a specific browser just for Facebook is totally inconvenient.

And it gets more interesting, or appalling!!

"While initially opt-in, the default then seems to be expose everything, and Facebook have form in the past for lowering protection after people get used to a certain level of initial protection - bait and switch,''


Well, check the news article, and decide for yourself.
