Sure, they will still track you as best as they can (though as I said Facebook doesn't have geolocation access on desktop). This doesn't change the fact that without your browsing profile, Facebook will have less knowledge about you than it would normally have, period. Facebook can't "undo" that.
- addicted 9y agoI think that was the OP’s point. FB woule have geolocation information on you because thanks to someone else’s use of your WiFi network on their cellphone, FB can now associate your IP address with a geographical location. So even though you’re on desktop and haven’t provided them with location permissions, they can still identify your location based on your IP address.
- dao- 9y agoAh, okay. I still don't see how this would undo preventing Facebook from knowing what websites you visit. The location of your PC seems like an entirely separate data point.
- cpeterso 9y agoFacebook can use GeoIP on their servers to position you within a few miles. That's close enough for demographic profiling. And like others mentioned, if anyone uses the Facebook app on your home network, Facebook can link the devices precise position with your IP address.
