Will clearing cookies in FF work, if you clear them directly after logging out of FB?

Cheers, LL

1233669 2011-09-26 06:48:00 The only way to be sure is to delete your FB account and come over to the dark side: Google+ johcar (6283)
1233670 2011-09-26 06:50:00 Pretty much everything on the net is tracking you, and google have an interest in 90 percent of it. Metla (12)
1233671 2011-09-26 20:56:00 Technically its partly true.

It's basically just pages that have the Facebook 'like this' button (Which is now a significant proportion of the internet). Read here:

1233673 2011-09-26 21:13:00 If every page on the web had a button for "Facebook Sucks", they could track me pretty easily.
There could a zuckometer to quantify the live suckiness rating. ;)

1233674 2011-09-27 02:20:00 Is that pronounced "zuck o meter" or "zuck om meter"? Gobe1 (6290)
1233675 2011-09-27 02:37:00 Yes. Every time, no exceptions ;) R2x1 (4628)
1233676 2011-09-27 04:48:00 Do not use the Internet at all.

That way you can not be tracked.

Unless you have a bank account maybe.
