The tool, which is named because it&#8217;s essentially the size of a pixel and not noticeable on a webpage, gives Facebook information on when you visit a website and what your activities were, such as buying something from the page. It had been on at least 8.4 million websites across the internet, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parliament.uk\/documents\/commons-committees\/culture-media-and-sport\/180514-Rebecca-Stimson-Facebook-to-Ctte-Chair-re-oral-ev-follow-up.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">letter sent to the UK Parliament<\/a> in 2018.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Even when your Facebook account is deactivated, the <span class=\"link\" section=\"shortcodeLink\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/facebook-is-still-tracking-you-after-you-deactivate-your-account\/\">social network continues to track your web activity<\/a><\/span>, assuming that you will return and looking to show the most relevant ads when you come back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Along with deleting your history through the tool, the Off-Facebook Activity feature also allows you to turn off future tracking, making sure that your online history isn&#8217;t a continuous chore that you have to keep cleaning on Facebook.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"imageContainer\"><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/facebook-rolls-out-privacy-tool-to-manage-how-youre-tracked-across-the-web\/\" class=\"lazy\" alt=\"ofa.png\" height=\"0\" width=\"1092\" data-original=\"https:\/\/cnet3.cbsistatic.com\/img\/FaVb61P5aWvr6IBxEIqMCoQlkyQ=\/1092x0\/2020\/01\/28\/ce608b46-39e4-4fb4-9a31-e0a9acfcc44f\/ofa.png\"><\/span><noscript><\/p>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnet3.cbsistatic.com\/img\/FaVb61P5aWvr6IBxEIqMCoQlkyQ=\/1092x0\/2020\/01\/28\/ce608b46-39e4-4fb4-9a31-e0a9acfcc44f\/ofa.png\" class alt=\"ofa.png\" height=\"0\" width=\"1092\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"caption\">Facebook&#8217;s Off-Facebook Activity tool has a tab that allows you to turn off future tracking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"credit\">Facebook<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But Facebook added a caveat to its new tool, noting that while it prevents tracking your data online, it doesn&#8217;t stop advertisers and businesses from targeting ads to you based on other factors, including your contact information.
