Disconnect Off-Facebook Activity
Facebook only recently launched a new feature, the Off-Facebook Activity tool, which lets you manage how the company sees and tracks your activity across the internet (yep, it's been doing that). According to Facebook help center: "Off-Facebook activity is a summary of activity that businesses and organizations share with us about your interactions, such as visiting their apps or websites. The good news is you can both clear the history of apps and websites you use that have shared your data, and you can disconnect data tracking going forward.
To clear you history, choose Clear History, Clear History.
To turn off your future Off-Facebook activity for all apps and websites, choose Future Off-Facebook Activity, and click Turn Off.
