How does Facebook know what you’re googling?
Facebook is not able to know what searches you are doing on Google. Only Google knows the history of your searches on its search engine.

Is it true that Facebook is tracking your web site?

What kind of information does Facebook ask for?
They request information like your geographic location, which other sites you’ve visited, what you click, and your Facebook username. In terms of what the “requests” represent, Facebook declined to comment because, in the company’s opinion, the requests do not mean much unless you can see exactly what they are and how they are being used.
What kind of technology does Facebook use to track You?
Technologies like cookies, pixel tags (“pixels”), and local storage are used to deliver, secure, and understand products, services, and ads, on and off Facebook. Your browser or device may allow you to block these technologies, but you may not be able to use some features on Facebook if you block them.
