That includes Facebook, Twitter, and some others. You can check our privacy policy for more details on how we handle data.
Facebook is not the only one tracking users through cookies, and it's been going on for a long time. Your best bet are some of the suggestions in the thread; use a VPN, or something like Tor. I've been trying out Brave lately as a drop in Chrome replacement, and you can use the Tor network through it.

I decided long ago that I don't care about my data privacy enough to do anything about it. But I also don't use social media.
agreements for "plug ins" whatever that means. I was just curious.
the hackers have your info, if you haven't been hit yet, give them time. They just haven't gotten to you yet.
Insure against it, take reasonable mitigation measures, for a typical random person that's all that's needed. IMO.
In other words, approach getting hacked like a natural disaster. It'll happen, be prepared and insured.
I felt safer when I had it. But, I do wonder if it really makes me any safer than just:
- 1) having a different password on every site;
- 2) not doing online banking with my phone;
- 3) locking my credit with every agency;
- 4) watching my home title (not sure if that is a placebo registration with my county...who knows); and
- 5) dumping my cookies and trackers and history every time I close my browser (although I know the rest of my family does not do this).
If LifeLock gains me anything over that, I would like to know, because I am willing to pay for them. But, I guess I feel pretty safe after doing the above, and think my bank and credit card companies are pretty secure.
I've thought about using Tor, since I have noticed some IP and session tracking even with my normal security precautions, and Tor is free after all. But, it may be worth it to pay for a VPN.
