    A court has given Facebook 48 hours to stop tracking people in Belgium who are not members of its social network.

    Facebook says it will appeal against the decision and that the order relates to a cookie it has used for five years.

    The cookie is installed when an internet user visits a Facebook page even if they are not members.

    However, the Belgian court said that the company was obliged to obtain consent to collect the information being gathered.
