If I walk into a store and make no purchase creates no value for the store. Visiting a website with a Facebook tracker (21.9% of the web) and making no purchase creates value for Facebook.

you would be surprised, but that also creates value for the store.

i worked with a company that tracks you and your facial expressions as you move thru the store. they analysed that data to show new products and move things around.
