Every instant personalization partner is required to display a notification when you first arrive on their site.

What you are seeing is a social plugin. When you view a social plugin on a website, none of your information is shared with the website or provided to advertisers on Facebook.com or on the other site.

You can block each site individually by clicking on the "Disable" link on the home page of each Instant personalization partners' site.

You can turn off instant personalization on a partner site by clicking "No Thanks" in the notification at the top of the webpage.

You can turn off instant personalization on all sites using the privacy setting (click the 'Account' dropdown at the top of any Facebook page -> 'Privacy settings' -> 'Apps and Websites' -> 'Instant Personalization'). This will prevent you from seeing a personalized experience on partner sites and prevents your friends from seeing your information on these sites. You can login with Facebook on these sites directly to re-enable a personalized experience.
