As far as I understand:
1. You're on a website about pets, which has FB code on it: Facebook can't link that activity to your account anymore, which means they'll have less accurate info about you that might be relevant to advertisers.
2. You see an ad on Facebook and then go to that website to make a purchase -> FB can't link that purchase to your profile and as such a) can't tell the advertiser whether their ads are effective b) can't use that data to optimize the campaign for users like you who might also be likely to buy.
- 8eye 5y agothat’s a pretty good description. a lot of people are not old enough to remember having to watch ads that were uninteresting and not applicable to them. so people will see more unrelated junk on their newsfeed
- VRay 5y agoI’m also old enough to remember when you needed to hire a private investigator to keep tabs on someone’s movements, but now anyone can easily track anyone else using their flashlight app and games on their phone. You can even track the President of the USA https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/20/opinion/location-data-national-security.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/20/opinion/locat...

Since Facebook's JavaScript is a third party site it no longer gets cookies as if you were logged in, so they can't track you. This is not Apple specific. 2. Within the Facebook app if you click a link and make a purchase they can absolutely still track you. If you click a link and open it in Safari, they can still track you. If however you see an ad on Facebook and search for it in your browser without clicking any links then Facebook can't track you, do to third party cookies being disabled.
