Facebook addresses 'stalking' issue - Technology - GMA News Online - Latest Philippine News: "After an Australian hacker pointed out the issue, Facebook has altered its logout process to address concerns that it can still stalk users after they log out.
Nik Cubrilovic said that Facebook explained its process after he found the social networking giant's cookies - bits of information saved on a user's computer - still lets Facebook keep tabs on users.
"(L)ogging out of Facebook only de-authorizes your browser from the web application, a number of cookies (including your account number) are still sent along to all requests to facebook.com. Even if you are logged out, Facebook still knows and can track every page you visit. The only solution is to delete every Facebook cookie in your browser, or to use a separate browser for Facebook interactions," Cubrilovic said in an initial blog post on the matter."
