Given that the media outlets reporting the steps to opt out of Facebook tracking also use Facebook tracking, the articles make it really complicated to get rid of all of it. So here is the simplified version:
- Go to https://www.facebook.com/off_facebook_activity/activity_list (you may be prompted for you password even if logged in)
- Click Manage Your Off-Facebook Activity
- Click Manage Future Activity link
- Click Manage Future Activity button
- Toggle off Future Off-Facebook Activity (if you like some of the tracked ads, you can manage them individually, but you will also have to do that regularly)
- Go to https://www.facebook.com/off_facebook_activity/activity_list (yes, again, and you may again be prompted for you password even if logged in)
- Click Clear History link
- Click Clear History button
Cheers!
