The data about the pages they visit and the pages they don’t visit will help you customize your advertisements for your targeted audience.
You cannot target a single user, but a group of users that fall into the same categories that are framed to classify them. For example, you can advertise to the users who visited your website within the last 24 hours, or last week or last month. All of these fall into different categories.

You can create a customized conversion using a completion page that will track whenever your visitor purchases something from the Facebook ads. A completion page can be like ‘Thank you for shopping with us, your order is on the way’.
