New or non-registered visitors to Facebook's website from within the EU are now being met with a banner outlining privacy information.
The move follows feedback from the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner, which regulates the social network in Europe.
Facebook says while the banner will provide information on its use of cookies, which are files that can gather data on users, the way it uses them is not changing.
It also says that people can continue to learn about its use of cookies from any page on Facebook.
The company says the measure, which will be expanded gradually to site visitors over time, is designed to improve user experience.
Facebook across Europe has been regulated by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner for five years.
Three years ago the company was audited by the ODPC, and continues to make changes to its operations as a result of ongoing contact with the commissioner's office.
However, the ODPC's regulation of the social network has been the focus of renewed criticism elsewhere in Europe from critics who say Facebook's policies on privacy are not regulated strongly enough.
