If you think that Facebook is not tracking you because you don't have a Facebook account or you've deleted it as a part of #DeleteFacebook movement after the Cambridge Analytica scandal got released on the Internet then it's not at all a truth.
The Cambridge Analytica tragedy has led to a million people disabling their accounts and deleted Facebook. But do you think that Facebook has changed their model? The answer is NO, they haven't. Because it is the central monetization model of Facebook through which it generates its revenue.
Facebook is still tracking you no matter if you haven't created a Facebook account ever or you have removed it. Facebook tracks you to show the advertisements relevant to your needs. Facebook has a super-highly-focused ad targeting system which has been made for tracking people's data to target ads more precisely.

According to Zuckerberg's testimony, he said, "When you visit a site or app that uses our services, we receive information even if you’re logged out or don’t have a Facebook account. This is because other apps and sites don’t know who is using Facebook."
This actually means that if you visit a website which has a like button or a follow button of Facebook, you are in the radar of the Facebook's data collection system.
How Facebook tracks you varies in many ways, for example, if one of your friend is on Facebook and if it synchronizes the contacts with it or if your friend has installed the Facebook app then your contact information is in Facebook's hand because since you have installed the app, you've given it access to all your contacts and messages. Facebook is tracking everything you have to improve the quality of ads that they target to you. Be aware of these things and make others aware. Share it and spread awareness.
