You could also install an anti-tracking browser extension. Disconnect is a great one; it's free and set-and-forget. You can easily whitelist individual sites in it.Just make sure to disable it on MakeUseOf, or commenting and giveaways will not work.

The following article lists a few things you can do to reduce the trackinghttp://articles.informer.com/how_to_stop_facebook_from_tracking_you_online.htmlIn addition there are also the Facebook ads settings[EMBED_FB]https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads&view[/EMBED_FB]Last but not least you should probably remove Apps access to your data[EMBED_FB]https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications[/EMBED_FB]But at the end of the day everything you do on Facebook can and will be used to track you, monetize your data. It's a billion dollar company which doesn't charge their users, it has to come from somewhere… The only true way to "opt out" is to simply stop using Facebook.
