““We’re adding more examples and detailed explanations to help you understand our policies,” Facebook’s new chief privacy officer, Erin Egan, a veteran privacy lawyer in Washington, wrote, in a blog post. Facebook users can give feedback and talk to Ms. Egan on Monday in a video chat.

The new explanations, available by clicking on the Help tab on the bottom of the Facebook home page,  include one on how cookies work on the site and what information application developers receive when you download an app on the Facebook platform.
