Is web tracking data stored in iphone

If it is I would like to know if I could removed it. By web tracking data I mean the tracking that takes place when you visit different site. If it is on my phone I want to remove to save as much space as possible also. In the future would like to block it because it's creepy. Any suggestions on how to remove the data and prevent it in the future

It probably is. Lots of websites link to other sites, often ones that serve ads.

I'm sorry, I really don't know the answer to that. History is shared among devices that use the same Apple ID but beyond that, I don't know.

I'm not sure if you would know this but what do you think it means if sites like Facebook.com show up in website data when I don't have Facebook

It means you used Safari web browser to view www.facebook.com website.

Thank you for your support,

It just seemed a bit strange to me. but it makes sense that it comes from within sites I visit
