The tracking code could even collect sensitive information like passwords, payment information, and screenshots.<\/p>\n<p>The key to this tracking is javascript code Meta apps inject into websites visited through their in-app browsers. iOS versions of Facebook and Instagram use custom browsers to visit websites rather than launching apps like Safari and Firefox. Were Meta apps to use third-party browsers, they could not inject tracking codes into user-visited websites.<\/p>\n<p>Meta claims these tracking codes follow the tracking preferences of iOS users. A company spokesperson told <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2022\/aug\/11\/meta-injecting-code-into-websites-visited-by-its-users-to-track-them-research-says\"><em>The Guardian<\/em><\/a>, \u201cWe intentionally developed this code to honour people\u2019s choices on our platforms.\u201d\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
