"The company introduced a new tool that lets people better see and control the information that Facebook has gathered about their browsing habits outside the social network.Facebook’s New Tool Lets You See Which Apps and Websites Tracked You | NYT
The tool, Off-Facebook Activity, allows users to view the hundreds of sites and apps that share data and customer information with Facebook. They can disconnect the data from their account if they want.
