You can opt out of interest based ads/shadow profiles without having to be a Facebook user by visiting https://www.facebook.com/ads/settings.

It's just not very well publicized.

Commenting to mention that you have to click to expand the "Manage Online Interest-Based Ads" section then click the "Digital Advertising Alliance" in order to opt out.

Most of these things FB has put up where you can get information without having an account seem to be obfuscated on purpose.
