How To Disable Browsing History Tracking on Facebook

Facebook keeps track of your browsing history. With the track history that it keeps and analyzes, Facebook displays relevant advertisements on your Facebook timeline.

If you're going to be shown advertisements, they might as well be relevant. But some people don't want to trade privacy for advertising and want to opt out of this feature..

When you opt out of the browsing history being tracked by Facebook, you are still displayed with the advertisements on your timeline, but they are not related to your interests and the searches that you have made on your browser.

Here is how you can opt out of Facebook tracking your browsing history:

    ■Open your favorite web browser.
    ■In the address bar, type www.facebook.com and press Enter.
    ■If prompted, provide your login credentials in the appropriate fields, and click Log In.
