Can I turn off the cell phone tracking on my phone?

Your phone will only have a GPS tracker if it has those capabilities. If you do have a GPS on your phone you can go to the settings and under GPS you can turn it off. Otherwise a cell phone company can track you to find you if they are approached by law enforcement and there is nothing you can do about that.
