Yes but if one has many of these disabled or logged out (the social media-type pages in particular) I imagine they couldn't get much for the sake of heuristics data collection anyhow,or if say you log in from a device where none of these accounts are also opened. I can't imagine Facebook openly letting a third party banking site or app scrape up its precious specific user data without first paying for it in "anonymized" form, ditto for Google, so how might that work if the bank was attempting that?

If you scroll to the bottom of that page for HSBC you will see the typical social media icons. It's likely embedded from those.
But presumably the data from those trackers feeds into the hidden backend heuristics the parent commenter mentioned.
