Facebook has taken over the internet. By using Facebook links you can log in to various websites at the touch of a button. Although this is of course very handy and ensures that you do not have to create a new account every time to access an interesting website, the use of Facebook links is not entirely harmless. You automatically share personal information with companies and give these companies a glimpse into your internet behavior. This wikiHow teaches you how to unpair a Facebook link from an app or website.
To step
Open your Facebook profile. Make sure you are logged in and go to your profile page or your personal timeline. 
Click the Settings button. This can be found in the top right corner of the Facebook page and looks like a gear. Click in the settings menu for the option "account settings". 
Click on "apps and websites". This option can be found in the menu to the left of the settings menu, almost at the bottom. 
Scroll through your Facebook links. After clicking "apps and websites", a list of all apps and websites that you have a Facebook link with will appear. With the help of this list you can make changes per app or website. 
Adjust the permissions for a particular app. Click "edit" to the left of the app or website you want to make a change for. A list of options and settings for that particular app or website will then appear. - Depending on the app or website, you can customize who can see your messages, what data is shared with the app, what notifications you want to receive, and so on. You can remove individual permissions by clicking the "X" next to the relevant permission.
- Click "close" in the top left corner of the window when you're done.
Remove a link to an app or website. To remove the complete association between your Facebook account and a particular app or website, click the "X" icon next to the "edit" link for that app or website. You will be notified that the Facebook link will be removed. Click on "Delete" to confirm this. - It is possible that an app or website still stores old data about you. You can contact the company responsible for the app or website to have all your data deleted.
- Removing a Facebook link may prevent all features of an app or website from being used or accessible.
Tips
- You can always re-establish a Facebook link with an app or website if you want to use it again. Even if you have previously removed this link.
