Get Off of FB and LOG OUT of it. if you don't it tracks everywhere you go in the background.
Facebook says otherwise--their explanation of what they do can be read here. But at any rate, logging out does not remove their cookies from your system, and thus does not prevent pages with a Facebook plug-in from personalizing content, etc. You can remove the cookies yourself, or there are browser plug ins available that will do this for you, such as Facebook Disconnect for Chrome, among others.
Yes FB says otherwise but the fact as reported by technology experts who have written on the subject and of an extensive NPR report is that they are being less than truthfull.
I am also aware of the cookie issue and how to manage them.
But the biggest problem certainly security wise is not logging out.
