If you visit Facebook.com or use a Facebook plugin such as the Like button, you should expect that your records will be tracked by the company for two years: Facebook allegedly builds a broad profile of individuals not only on the service side but also for the purpose of a more personalised profile for its members.
Traffic and content data are transferred to Facebook’s servers in the US and an analysis is sent back to the website owner concerning the usage. Users often do not receive sufficient information about this and the wording in Facebook’s conditions of use and privacy statements does not meet the legal relevant requirements.
