Invisible web spy
A tracking pixel is a tiny, usually invisible image embedded in a webpage or email that reports back to a server when loaded.
Marketers and advertisers use them to monitor whether emails are opened, track user behavior across websites, and gather data for targeted advertising.
Also called a web beacon or pixel tag.
The newsletter uses tracking pixels to measure engagement.
