MCOC and Facebook trackers

I'm curious as to why DuckDuckGo Tracking Protection shows this. It's an error on their part? Or I am missing something?

    If you look in the Facebook permissions, it talks with almost every single app on your phone so they can create ads for you.

    But doesn't the app have to give permission to each tracker (in this case to Facebook) to do this?
    I should also add that I don't have Facebook on my phone

    That's much more interesting if you don't even have Facebook on your phone. Also no the app doesn't have to be given individual permissions to talk to other apps.

    You don't have to have the app. If you've logged in through any webpages, most of them are synced. I use chrome and my bookmarks and permissions persist if I'm on my phone or desktop.

    I don't use Facebook at all so there is no reason to log in with it somewhere.
    With other apps that use trackers like this, there is usually a share option within the app itself.

    Oh no, I don't mean myself giving permission to MCOC, I'm talking about MCOC giving permission to Facebook to use trackers inside the game

    It seems that MCoC is using Facebook for identification purposes and I still haven't figured out why or how. Can someone from Kabam enlighten me?
