"The only solution is to delete every Facebook cookie in your browser, or to use a separate browser for Facebook interactions."


I would permanently switch to Google+ but no ones on.

Well it's like Rogue said. Lots of websites do that. So... why is this such a bother?

Firefox's got a feature that allows you to not be tracked by websites...

As has already been mentioned, it's not like Facebook is not the only site that tracks you...

Psh, that's nothin. Google keeps an archive of what you search. It also includes IP address next to the search in their archive which can later be used against you by suspecting law enforcement.

This.

Although, I don't really have anything to hide. Not much of a surprise, or a bother.

Well aint that something.

Call me a safe bet, I'm betting I'm not
I'm glad that you can forgive, only hoping as time goes, you can forget
