It is, but here’s how facebook tracks you:

 using a variety of methods, including cookies, pixels, IP addresses, and location services. Facebook uses this information to build a profile of your interests and preferences, which it then uses to target you with ads.

• Cookies: Small files that track your browsing history, preferences, and login information
  
  
• Pixels: Tiny pieces of code that report your activity back to Facebook
  
  
• IP addresses: Tracks your location when you log in
  
  
• GPS data: Tracks your location when you use Facebook apps
  
  
• 
  
  • Event RSVPs: Tracks your location when you RSVP to events
  • Marketplace listings: Tracks your location when you list items on the Marketplace
