Yes facebook tracks you all across the web. Clear them cookies as an easy first step. Past that there's device fingerprinting, ip address, etc.

hello d3rr... i think that you misunderstood my question..

i am not interested in what facebook can track... but instead can a website, such as saidit, can you somehow figure out what is my facebook account when i access the saidit.net website?

thank you.

Not directly. They would need access to facebook data

No, at best we could detect that you have a facebook cookie and are probably logged in. But cookies have gotten more secure in the last 5 years so it's probably a nope all around.

i use a trading forum:

they block tor from accessing their forum, and i was just wondering if they had any way to identify me perhaps they could figure out my facebook account..

according to what you are saying the answer is no.

I don't know the sophistication nowadays but if you truly want to avoid facebook detection, use fresh browser clean from any data. alternatively use firefox + container addons + containerise for easier access.

for advanced user you can use noscript addons to see the link loaded by a website to be sure facebook tracks you or not.
