What Is Off-Facebook Activity?

Off - Facebook activity encompasses any interaction you engage in with a website or app, such as favoriting an item, leaving a comment, making a purchase, taking a quiz, or playing a game. These interactions can be shared with Facebook. Using this information, Facebook is able to show you ads tailored to the activities it has learned about you.

For example, imagine you purchase a blender on a retailer's website. Given that the retailer utilizes Facebook's business tools, it will share details about you and your purchase with Facebook.

Consequently, Facebook becomes aware of the retailer website you visited and that you bought a blender from it. As you surf through Facebook, you may start to see ads promoting deals on cookware, flatware, kitchen appliances, and other related products.

Tip:In addition to showing you more targeted Facebook ads, Facebook will also use your off-Facebook activity to help you discover more relevant groups, events, marketplace items, businesses and brands.
