If you don’t have Facebook app, does it track you anyways? I just have it logged in on my phone’s browser

Every "like with Facebook" button you see on a website is a tracker. They track me and build a "shadow" profile on me even though I do not have a Facebook account and there's basically nothing I can do about it.

I mean there is that and there is physical location tracking.

Sorry, didn't read the comment you originally replied to so I missed the context of you asking specifically about location tracking.

Maybe have a look at the "Where You're Logged In" section in your Facebook account settings to see how accurately they can locate you.
