In London and Amsterdam you have the equivalent to the Bay Area's Clipper card with can be tracked. In Paris and surrounding areas you use paper tickets with a magnetic strip that has a given amount of trips (1/10/etc.). There the only tracking you can do is on aggregate, without ways to deanonymize people other than facial recognition on CCTV feeds and your phone's wireless signals.

The same as been true in every city I've been to in Europe. In general, it would be very hard to do away with anonymous tickets. There are always many citizens who only use it occasionally (but when they need it, they often can't wait for a personalized card to arrive), plus tourists.
