Measures To Keep In Mind While Granting Easy Consent on Social Media:

Before we login to any new apps, we fail to take account of the plethora of permissions that we have already granted with every Facebook Login. Here are a few tips that will go a long way in securing your online and ultimately offline identity if you have used a Facebook or Google log in for third party apps:-

1. Go DIRECTLY Instead of Login through Facebook:
Avoid logging in for apps and websites through Facebook or Google, instead go directly to the site. Using Facebook Login may be convenient but comes at a price. In the process, you are granting the app's developer access to a range of information from the Facebook profiles.

2. NOW is the time to unlink questionable third party apps:
Now is the time to go through the “Apps” section of your Facebook settings, accessible both from your desktop or mobile. You can see the total number of apps you’re logged into using Facebook at the top of the page. Scroll to the bottom to the “Apps, Websites and Plugins” square, click edit, and turn off all third-party API access.

3. RESTRICT AD preferences:
Make sure to run by the Ad Preferences page to remove advertisers’ ability to target ads based on your personal information. Facebook automatically selects dozens of categories based on the information provided referred to as ‘other activity’. By restricting ad preferences, advertisers would be unable to run ads informed by your gender, location etc. Of the pages liked on Facebook, remove ones you don’t want to be used for advertising purposes.
  
4. Turn OFF location services:
Users should refrain from giving most apps access to location all the time, so make sure to never leave it set to “Always”. Similarly, be conscious of granting such one-time permissions to other apps.
