LinkedIn tracks your browsing behavior on non-LinkedIn websites through advertising pixels and social plugins, building a profile of your internet activity even when you're not on LinkedIn.

LinkedIn tracks your activity across third-party websites via pixels and plugins, meaning your browsing history on sites unrelated to LinkedIn is collected and used to profile you for advertising and other purposes.
