First, log in to your account and go to the Settings tab. From there, click on the three-dot menu and select Ad preferences. From here, you can choose which ads to block or which categories to hide. You can also set specific categories to hide from other users. To do so, follow the steps listed below. If you&#8217;re not sure how to block ads on Facebook, read this guide first!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disable_third-party_cookies\"><\/span>Disable third-party cookies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to avoid receiving Facebook ads on your mobile device, you can disable third-party cookies on your browser. First-party cookies are those that come from the same domain as your website. You can opt to accept them or disable them altogether in the Settings menu of your browser. Third-party cookies help advertisers track visitor behavior across websites and are useful in retargeting visitors after they leave a website. Third-party cookies are often blocked by default in many browsers. However, you can also enable Cookie AutoDelete in Chrome and Firefox, which deletes third-party cookies after you leave a website. It also allows you to customize which cookies are deleted.<\/p>\n<p>Most Facebook users accept that their data is tracked in order to improve their experience. However, few people realize that Facebook may track them in other ways, typically through third-party developers and sites. Most people unknowingly give permission to these third-party companies to track their online behavior. The first-party cookies that Facebook uses to track user behavior are the ones that most marketers use to serve you ads. They track users&#8217; interests and behavior over time to provide you with better, more relevant ads.<\/p>\n<p>Although third-party cookies are not a perfect solution for online privacy, enabling them will help you avoid unwanted ads. This technology was first introduced by ad companies in 1996. Since then, it&#8217;s become a controversial issue, and some people wonder whether third-party cookies can truly help or harm our privacy. Luckily, the technology has improved over the years and third-party cookies are not as intrusive as they used to be.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Block_Facebook_video_ads\"><\/span>Block Facebook video ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to stop Facebook video advertisements, you&#8217;re not alone. Facebook is the most popular social media app in the world, and it&#8217;s used for both communication and entertainment. People enjoy using Facebook every day, but it can be annoying when these ads pop up on your feed. There are several ways to turn off Facebook&#8217;s video ads, though. Facebook users can set up their own interests and set their preferences to receive less intrusive ads.<\/p>\n<p>One way to avoid these annoying video ads is to turn off autoplay. Facebook&#8217;s video ads are automatically played when you sign in. You have to stop them manually by tapping on the ad. Lifehacker&#8217;s Whitson Gordon has some tips to help you disable autoplaying videos. These steps only work on desktop, iPhone, and Android devices. On iPhone and Android, you can also set videos to automatically play when you&#8217;re connected to a Wi-Fi network.<\/p>\n<p>To block Facebook video ads, you can set your preferences according to your interests. Facebook offers plenty of informative videos, and setting your preferences to your liking will prevent ads from appearing on your feed. You can also disable Facebook video ads by copying their link. However, you&#8217;ll still have to watch your videos! Then, turn off Facebook video ads so that they don&#8217;t disturb your experience. If you&#8217;re wondering how to stop Facebook video ads, try the tips below.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opt-out_of_retargeting\"><\/span>Opt-out of retargeting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To opt-out of retargeting ads on your Facebook page, you need to go to the Settings of your account. Go to the Ads section of your account and choose &#8220;Preferences.&#8221; You can also choose not to be tracked by selecting the &#8220;Not Allowed&#8221; option in each category. Once you&#8217;ve selected not to be tracked, you can continue using Facebook. But if you want to avoid seeing targeted ads, you need to take a few additional steps.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to find out how these cookies are being used. Some cookies allow third-party companies to access this data. Facebook retargeting ads rely on this data. In order to avoid this, you should first check the privacy policies of the websites you use. Generally, they will tell you how to opt-out of retargeting ads. If you&#8217;re still not sure how to opt-out of retargeting ads on Facebook, read these privacy policies.<\/p>\n<p>If you are concerned about these ads, there&#8217;s a new tool that will make it easier to opt-out. Facebook has made it easier to manage the content of ads by allowing users to set preferences on each ad. Simply click on the ad you don&#8217;t want to see again and Facebook will tell you why. You can even ban ads based on your personal interests. If you don&#8217;t like tennis ads on Facebook, you can simply block it from appearing on your news feed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Block Ads on Facebook To block ads on Facebook, there are a few things you can do.
