Just to share my own experience – Concerned about my privacy I went to http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=privacy&section=applications#!/settings/?tab=privacy&section=applications&field=instant_personalization to make sure my ‘personalisation’ wasn’t being shared and noticed it was unchecked. I then navigated to my profile page and noticed there was a ‘we want to improve your web experience/personalisational message’. Clicking on ‘learn more’ took me to the page previously linked to and surprise surprise the ‘personalisation’ tickbox was now checked.

So moral of the story if you click on a link to the personalisation settings having not logged into FB since the privacy changes the box will appear to be unchecked. That is until to navigate to your FB home page for the first time when FB will automatically opt you in.

Wholly peeps!
