A handy tip to protect oneself from Facebook tracking you when you're offline from Facebook.
Isn't this just the same kind of online / ad tracking that happens everywhere, anyway?
And like mentioned - the fact you're already on Facebook means it knows way more around you by now than worrying about your shopping habits online
yes, including this website
Really don't understand why people get so funny about targeted advertising.
Surely if you wanted a loaf of bread and a newspaper you'd like the first two shops on the high street to be a bakery and a newsagent or at least a signpost to them?!?
It's not just targeted advertising. Although this setting appears to be just about that.
People who have worked high up in social media have come off it and say they would never allow their children on it because of the amount of data collected and what they then do with it...
And what is it they are doing with it?

This.
I honestly couldn't give a stuff about who knows where I am, or what I buy online. And if I put a pic up on Facebook or whatever, then that was my decision to share something that anyone can then see. Now if I was sharing some of the hardcore transsexual snuff pics from my basement, then I might expect a few repercussions somewhere down the line. But other than the danger of boring someone to death with pics of my scale model Spitfire, I fail to see what dire consequences my online footprint could have on me.
Ooh, is it remote controlled?

Seen it. So nothing sinister then.
It's how they program the algorithms to make you see what they want you to see. Or what organisations/governments of the world want people to see in an effort to get you to vote a certain way or be an activist in a certain area. Some people are easily lead like that.
