Home Improvement Tip from Consumer Reports

Would but only place I see certain family members and friends. Recent data thing is BS as FB has been feeding it to other party for years.

My dog has a facebook account and he tells me what my friends and family are up to. I do not appear there anywhere although Facebook does sniff cookies from my machine. That is all the more reason to reject 3d party cookies and delete as many of the cookies sites drop on you as you can when you close the session. I understand most sites pretty much require cookies to operate but you usually do not need to save them. Deleting cookies on a close is a browser setting. You have to remember, the only reason Facebook, Google, Instagram and the other "free" apps exist is to gather data about you that they can sell.
