Tell me you don’t know how cookies and user tracking work without telling me.
This is blatantly false. Facebook-cookies can only be used to track you on websites that sent requests to Facebook (for example by displaying a share-code). Without making some kind of request to Facebook servers, cookies are simply little text snippets doing nothing.
The problem is that so many websites have in one way or another introduced code-snippets from Facebook or Google or Instagram or Youtube. Those snippets then fire requests to their servers and boom, that’s when your cookies can be used to identify you.
But Lemmy does not include any code snippets from Meta or Alphabet, so the only way to track you going here is through referrer when clicking on links.
