Mark Zuckerberg Won’t Say if Facebook Tracks Your Web Browsing After Signing Out

‘It would probably be better to have my team follow up’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

WICKER: "One other thing, there have been reports that Facebook can track a user’s Internet browsing activity even after that user has logged off of the Facebook platform. Can you confirm whether or not this is true?"
ZUCKERBERG: "Senator, I -- I want to make sure I get this accurate, so it'd probably be better to have my team follow up afterwards."
WICKER: "So you don’t know?"
ZUCKERBERG: "I know that people use cookies on the Internet. And that you can probably correlate activity between -- between sessions. We do that for a number of reasons, including security and including measuring ads to make sure that the ad experiences are the most effective which, of course, people can opt out of. But I want to make sure that I’m precise in my answer, so let me follow up on that." [crosstalk]
WICKER: "When you get back to me, sir, would -- would you also let us know how Facebook discloses to its users that engaging in this type of tracking gives us that result?"
ZUCKERBERG: "Yes."
