    Website owners can configure the pixel to track user website interactions such as searches or filling out a form, sending each action to Meta, even if the user doesn’t have an account on Facebook.

    Haven’t had a facebook account in over a decade, but I have no doubts that they still have loads of data about me.

      Isn’t the tracker pixel really old news hy now?

      I’ve never even been to the Facebook website, at all, ever. When I first heard of it I knew it was bad news.

      Like you, I’m sure they still know lots about me

        I think “metal pixel” has just become what they call their trackers, not that its an actual pixel any longer. I could be wrong but I’ve heard references to the “meta pixel” for enough years after most companies switch to JS or other methods that I jumped to conclusions.
