I have had to change privacy settings on FaceBook every time they do an upgrade. When I started, FB settings were easy, each upgrade they became more complex, and you had to redo settings, as the new upgrade left your FB open. The Last upgrade, the settings are not easy to find them all, and some were hidden, so you kept getting Ads that you didn't want.
