How to stop Meta from fully profiting from your profiles. They will still profit, but not as much.

Go to accountscenter.facebook.com and complete the steps below.

TO STOP META FROM FEEDING YOU ADS BASED ON DATA COLLECTED ABOUT YOU FROM OTHER APPS AND WEBSITES

Click “Ad preferences.”
Click “Manage info.”
Click “Activity information from ad partners.”
Click “Review setting.”
Select “No, don’t make my ads more relevant by using this information.”
Click “Confirm.”

TO STOP META FROM USING YOUR DATA TO HELP ADVERTISERS TARGET YOU ON OTHER APPS

Click “Ad preferences.”
Click “Manage info.”
Click “Ads from ad partners.”
Select “Don’t show me ads from ad partners.”
Click the “X” button to close out.

TO UNLINK YOUR ACCOUNT FROM THE DATA ABOUT YOU THAT OTHER COMPANIES GIVE TO META

Click “Your information and permissions.”
Click “Your activity off Meta technologies.”
Click “Manage future activity.”
Select “Disconnect future activity.”
Click “Continue.”
Click “Disconnect future activity.”

If your Facebook and Instagram accounts are linked, you’re good to go!

If your Facebook and Instagram accounts are NOT linked, go to accountscenter.instagram.com and repeat the steps above.

OTHER STEPS YOU CAN TAKE:

Use a privacy-focused web browser like Firefox.
