Keep it to real friends
Time to clear out Facebook and keep it to the people you know and trust.
Relationship Status
Once upon a time, no relationship was real until it was confirmed on Facebook, but these days it's better to keep that lovin' feeling to yourself.People have already cottoned on to how adverts appear suddenly promoting wedding dresses and venues as soon as the engagement post goes up on the social media site.
Stop tagging your location
Whenever you tag yourself you're giving away a lot of information. Whether you're in your house, where you live, what you're doing...
When and where you're going for holiday
Talking about location, don't tag yourself with 'off on holiday' or your snaps until you're home.You're sending out a massive clue as to how long you'll be away.
In some cases if you tag yourself, or post your holiday plans, the insurance claim won't be accepted, according to This is Money.
