How to Disable Automatic Event Tracking on Your Facebook Pixel Without Code
By default, Facebook’s automatic event tracking detects customer interactions on your store and sends data to your Facebook Pixel, even if you haven’t manually added event tracking code. However, if you prefer full control over event tracking, you can disable this feature directly from your Meta Business Manager without modifying your store’s code.
This guide walks you through the steps to disable automatic event tracking for your Facebook Pixel.
Log in to your Meta Business Manager account.
Open the Events Manager section.
In the left-hand sidebar, click on Data Sources.
Find and select the Facebook Pixel that is connected to your store.
Click on the Settings tab.
Scroll down to the section labeled "Track Events Automatically Without Code."
Toggle this option OFF to prevent Facebook from tracking customer actions automatically.
Note: If this option is already disabled, no further action is required.
Once you have turned off automatic event tracking, your Facebook Pixel will only track events that you have manually configured through the Facebook Events Manager or custom code on your store.
Your pixel setup is now optimized to track only the events you choose.
Prevents duplicate event tracking, which can lead to inaccurate data.
