Facebook Addresses User Tracking Issue
Just two days ago, I posted an article highlighting how Facebook tracks you regardless of login status. Following this discovery, Facebook has come out publicly and denied that it tracks users after they logged out. Apparently the PR move was not enough to quell the concerns of the interweb users, so Facebook has now updated their logout logic to also delete the cookie containing the user’s unique ID.
As before, Nik Cubrilovic does an excellent job documenting the changes, as well as what the existing Facebook cookies are used for. If you feel the need to dig deeper (not a bad idea), give his newest article “Facebook Fixes Logout Issue, Explains Cookies” a read.
