1）Facebook advertising platform will not use any third-party data tracking platform for collecting conversion data, and the third-party data tracking platform will not return the conversion data to the Facebook advertising platform. Therefore, regardless of whether the developer accesses any third-party data tracking platform, Facebook advertising must be connected to Facebook Analytics so that the Facebook advertising platform can record advertising conversion data to be able to analyse, optimize and adjust it.

2）The settlement of advertising costs also needs to be based on Facebook's data.
