Facebook Instant Personalization is an initiative by Facebook and other select partners. Basically ensuring that when you reach these partner sites the experience is immediately tailored to your likes and dislikes. The way these sites are able to do this is by using your publicly available information on Facebook and adjusting everything on the site to what you like and your expected behavior. It also brings your friends with you when you arrive.
Facebook Instant Personalization: How it works
when you arrive on a select partner website you will be told that this site has been persnolized for you, using your Facebook profile. You can either turn-off instant personalization or continue to use the site with it on. The whole purpose is to provide you with a more personalized experience while browsing these Facebook partner websites.
