Off-Facebook activity is a summary of activity that businesses and organizations share with us about your interactions with them, such as visiting their apps or websites. They use our Business Tools, like Facebook Login or Facebook Pixel, to share this information with us. This helps us do things like give you a more personalized experience on Facebook.

When you turn off your future off-Facebook activity:
  • Your future off-Facebook activity will be disconnected within 48 hours from when it's received. During this time it may be used for measurement purposes and to make improvements to our ads systems.
  • If you choose to turn off your future activity for all apps and websites, you'll also disconnect all your past off-Facebook activity.
  • You may still see ads from these businesses. For example, advertisers can show ads based on your activity on Facebook, such as when you like a business page. Also, they can upload customer lists and show their ads to people on that list. Learn more about advertisers using these lists on your Ad Preferences page.
  • You'll still see the same number of ads, but the ads you see may be less personalized to you.
  • You may be logged out of apps and websites. To log in with Facebook in the future, you'll have to allow information from that app or website to stay connected to your Facebook account.
