I am in Europe, so by law (GDPR) I have the right to make them delete all of this data.

How do I do so?

Also, I never consented to this being collected. How can their practice of collecting this type of data be GDPR compliant?

You can disable to storage of this data on the linked page.

But I'd recommend going to the source: Read the privacy policy of each party delivering data and check if they mention it. I already sent a mail to the DPO of an app provider which shows up in this list and doesn't mentions Facebook in their privacy policy.

Even if the app had it in their privacy policy, that would not mean it is legal to send your data to Facebook.

GDPR requires the users consent to do so. Having a statement in a privacy policy is imho not enough to qualify as consent.

I'm not anyone's lawyer. These are questions, not answers: GDPR is about collecting data from you, right? If Site X is sending data about you to Facebook, perhaps that's an issue with Site X's GDPR compliance, not Facebook's?
