I think FB uses your cookies to find your location.

I find certain websites that use Google ads for example, always give my ads for my state and location. FB does the same.

To me it is nothing more than a data mining operation.

We had to laugh because one of my husband's friends from work was talked into joining FB by her daughter. While at first she was pleased to re-connect with some old acquaintances she made in France and Belgium from her old college days, her page became cluttered with "insane" ramblings from someone she went to high school with-- and she had to "hide" that person.
Also her mother became problematic...so now she has hidden her too!
