Google (and other ads) on Allnurses

I do see that many (or most) ads are by Google and I have changed my privacy and security settings through Google, but how would Facebook and my information be on here....? hmmmm.

do you know how to disable cookies on this website? I have them changed on my computer under tools.... I still see it there....

thanks, Karma and Trauma -

Karma - of course I understand the need to advertise for a website, but I don't want any information sharing from Facebook onto Allnurses. I opted-out of Google third party ads, but can't see how Facebook friends are on my sidebar - unless I sign out of Facebook. I had changed all Facebook privacy features that I can, but can't figure out why it's showing up on Allnurses - one has my name, one doesn't - see the problem??

Is Facebook now owned by Google...??

My head hurts.

Thanks, Karen. I had read that, which is more profile on Allnurses privacy.

there was another area where I read about information sharing and third party cookies on Allnurses.... it didn't say how Facebook (or social networking sites) falls into this sharing, third party category. I changed Google and Facebook options, but if I'm signed on and I see FB friends on my sidebar, there must be personal information sharing going on.... the privacy policy didn't really answer that. It answers about opting out, which applies to Google ads....

Anyway... it's exhausting.

Thanks!
