Man I feel hopeless. I have not connected my Facebook account for over 90% of these sites/apps but they still sent my data to Facebook.
Do you have the option to stop using those sites or using those vendors? At least now you have more data on the externalities of using each service.
But some are essential. Transferwise is not connected to my FB account but is sending data to Facebook.
A bit weird that my Monzo seems to be sending data to Facebook?
Still not ideal, but not completely terrible.
- View coinbase.com
- Turn off future activity from coinbase.com
- Give feedback about this activity
Does 'turn off' mean they won't share this information again, or that I won't be told about it again?
My off-facebook activity was empty. That's encouraging, because it looks like my countermeasures have been working: - Fingerprinting resistance in Firefox (privacy.resistFingerprinting = true) - First-party isolation in Firefox (privacy.firstparty.isolate = true) - Blocking third-party cookies in Firefox (network.cookie.cookieBehavior = 1) - Firefox container when I need to login to ad/tracking companies (Facebook, G…
BTW, how does PiHole help in regards to anonymity?

What you can do to prevent this is: 1) Install https://www.eff.org/privacybadger to prevent trackers from being loaded 2) Install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-autode... to delete any cookies you might have accepted after a week time or so, which prevents the infinite gobbling-up of your data after innocently accepting a cookie once 3) Install the Google, Facebook, Twitter and Amazon container…
Those are good, but they don't work for what the GP is talking about. I'm seeing games/apps associated with my FB account even though I never logged in to FB with them or gave them any info. I literally just opened the app and that activity was associated with my FB account. I have no idea how they're doing this, since they didn't even request storage access (or I didn't give it). Can any Android developer here chime…
Edit: This report[1] puts the blame mostly on Google ads ID.

Hmm. I have no website activity listed - but seemingly every single Android game and a few other apps is sending "activity" to FB, despite me never using any feature to associate the two. This sounds like: https://privacyinternational.org/report/2647/how-apps-androi... Any sensible way of stopping this?

So there's that. I wonder if any opt-out really helps. I think the best approach is still to use a good blocker such as uBlock Origin.

Maybe same phone number on Google Play and Facebook or some other way the phone number IDs you? Edit: This report[1] puts the blame mostly on Google ads ID. [1] https://privacyinternational.org/report/2647/how-apps-androi...
If Google and Facebook is ready to "show" these data, I wonder what and how much data they are hiding.
Furthermore, I don't understand how any of this is GDPR-compliant.
In my profile, they managed to obtain a `PURCHASE` event from Macy's -- for an in-person purchase at a physical store . Macy's has my email address and certainly linked it to my credit card number, but this is nonetheless seriously creepy. I just tried to change my email address on Facebook and discovered that they canonicalize plus and dot variations in gmail.com addresses, and thus claim that the new email address…
