Partner-domain cookies (_fbc, _fbp) on third-party sites

Meta's business partners may choose to share information with Meta from cookies set in the partners' own website domains, whether or not you have a Facebook or Instagram account or are logged in. Cookies named _fbc or _fbp may be set on the domain of the partner site you are visiting. Meta says that, unlike cookies on Meta's own domains, these cookies are not accessible by Meta when you are on a site other than the one where they were set, including Meta's own domains. It says they serve the same purposes as cookies in Meta's own domain: to personalise content (including ads), measure ads, produce analytics and provide a safer experience.

Our business partners may also choose to share information with Meta from cookies set in their own websites' domains, whether or not you have a Facebook or Instagram account or are logged in. Specifically, cookies named _fbc or _fbp may be set on the domain of the business partner whose site you're visiting. Unlike cookies that are set on Meta's own domains, these cookies aren’t accessible by Meta when you're on a site other than the one on which they were set, including when you are on one of our domains. They serve the same purposes as cookies set in Meta's own domain, which are to personalise content (including ads), measure ads, produce analytics and provide a safer experience, as set out in this Cookies Policy.
