Facebook can track you even after logout -hacker - Technology - GMA News Online - Latest Philippine News: "Facebook users, be warned: the social network giant may still be able to track you even after you log out of your session. This was the finding of an Australian hacker who said Facebook's "cookies" —bits of information saved on a user's computer— still lets Facebook keep tabs.
"(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," hacker Nik Cubrilovic said in a blog post.
He also noted Facebook's new application programming interface (API) allows applications to post status items to one's Facebook timeline without user intervention.
