senator, i want to make sure i get this accurate. it would probably be better to have my team follow up. you don t know? i know that people use cookies on the internet. and you can probably correlate activity between sessions. we do that for a number of reasons, including security and include measuring ads to make sure they are the most effective which of course people can opt out of. i want to make sure i m precise in my answer so let me follow up on that. when you get back to me, sir. would you also let me know how facebook discloses to their users that engaging in this type of tracking give us that result? yes. and thank you very much. thank you senator. senator leahy is up next. thank you. mr. zuckerberg, i assume
