Go to your Facebook settings, then select "Your Facebook Information."

Under "Your Facebook Information," select "Off-Facebook Activity."

You'll be greeted by some information explaining Facebook's methods for tracking your activity outside the network.

A banner will preview some of the websites and apps that Facebook knows you've used. Click on the app icons to see a full list of those sources.

The full list will include third parties that shared your activity with Facebook in the past 180 days. Clicking "Clear History" will delete this information that Facebook has saved.

To turn this tracking off, click on "Manage Your Off-Facebook Activity" from the menu on the right side of the screen.

Toggling the switch next to "Future Off-Facebook Activity" will stop Facebook from saving your future activity to your account. However, it doesn't stop third parties from sending Facebook information about you.
