Facebook servers, a message is sent to your browser, and the plug-in is
run on the Internet page. This is telling the Facebook server which of
our pages you have visited. Assuming you are logged on to your Facebook
member account while running the Facebook plug-in, Facebook will
allocate the information to your personal Facebook user account. Further
information collected and allocated by Facebook is the use of plug-in
functions (like clicking on the Like button or posting a comment). To
prevent this data collection and allocation, you must log off your
Facebook user account before running the plug-in.
If you do not wish Facebook to
collect and directly allocate the above information to your Facebook
profile, you will either have to log off from Facebook before visiting
our site or run a “Facebook blocker” which stops the Facebook plug-ins
from running on our pages.
