The plugin author has kindly set up an online FLoC header checker. Add your website’s homepage URL to see of the header is present and if you have been FloCed.
WordPress are on the fence about auto disabling this, while ClassicPress has already added this as a feature to its backend. I am seeing more advancements in ClassicPress, while WordPress seems to be still trying to get Gutenberg to work almost 2 years later.
