The case, brought by the Belgian Privacy Commission, required the social network to stop tracking non-users immediately or face a fine.

This cookie helped us stop more than 33,000 account takeover attempts in Belgium in the last month, and similar cookies are used by most major internet services.
"We look forward to resolving this without jeopardising people's safe and secure access to Facebook," said Alex Stamos, chief security officer, in a statement.
