Well, they can see whether you watched them or not. So technically still tracked. At least in the official youtube app.
They can see the percentage of people who watched that part of the video, as part of the video analytics. This doesn't track the user, though, at least not if you have history turned off, or are using another front end.
And I'd guess that's done in the backend instead of the frontend. They should be able to know how many times their server steamed a part of a video.
