CANNES, France—Facebook’s experience on the beach at Cannes this year was a joyous ode to creativity. You could learn the art of pin- and printmaking, attend Story School to up your Instagram game or watch an immersive video about the history of human storytelling.

The hands-on theme of creativity deviated just once: Privacy Stations.

Anyone who entered Facebook’s beach could use the stations to check their privacy settings and ad preferences, and the social giant said it will incorporate the stations into its future activations.

“People have told us they want more information about the things they see on Facebook, so we wanted to provide the opportunity to anyone visiting our space in Cannes to do a privacy checkup or review their ad preferences using these stations as a guide to do so,” a spokesperson said.
