You can make a burner email account that doesn't track you around the web, and other places.

Is it possible to do that with a Facebook account?

if you're not logged into it in the browser, it can't follow you around
Not entirely true. If you've logged in at all, and didn't purge your cookies and local storage, they might still be tracking you everywhere you visit.
third party cookies allowed means they can follow you around logged in or out. They can also follow you around by your fingerprint (IP+various browser info bits that uniquely identify you)
