Of course they do. To the maximum extent they can manage. As the saying goes: if you are using a web service for free, you are not their customer, you are their product (or something like that).

Paying is irrelevant. How many websites hide the FB buttons if you subscribe to them?

I meant you don't pay for Facebook. Facebook is collecting the data, not the sites who add the Like button.
