Your activity off Meta technologies is a summary of activity that businesses and organisations share with us about your interactions with them, such as visiting their apps or websites. They use our business tools, such as Facebook Login, Meta pixel or Instagram Basic Display, to share this information with us. This helps us do things like give you a more personalised experience on Facebook. Learn more about your activity off Meta technologies and how we use it.
