What You Are Disclosing Through Tracking "Fingerprints"
Tracking Pixels Are Following You
A tracking pixel, also known as a web beacon, clear GIF, or pixel tag, is a tiny, often invisible image embedded in digital content like emails. Typically a 1x1 pixel graphic, it is virtually undetectable to users. Tracking pixels raise significant privacy concerns because they collect information without explicit user consent. When you open an email containing a tracking pixel, your email client sends a web request to load external content referenced by the email, thereby revealing certain data.
