So, on including Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have clicked on an advertisement from us or you have called up the corresponding website of our Internet presence. Moreover, if you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook reserves the right to assign the visit to your account. This implies that even if you are not registered on Facebook or have not logged in, Facebook still makes it possible for the provider to find out your IP address and other identifiers and save them.
The deactivation of the “Facebook Custom Audiences” function is possible for logged-in users at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads# (Last access 08.04.2020)
