How to Reduce Tracking on Social Media
Social networks track what you do on and off their platforms. You can reduce it.
Account settings
- Review ad personalisation and turn it off where possible.
- Limit off-platform activity tracking.
- Make profiles and posts private.
- Remove old tagged photos and location history.
Browser and device
- Use tracker blocking.
- Disable third-party cookies.
- Do not use “login with” buttons from social networks on other sites.
Habits
Avoid quizzes and games that ask for profile access, and revoke app permissions regularly.
Key takeaway: Review privacy settings quarterly and limit what third parties can access.
