Web beacons are invisible online elements that are embedded on websites, as opposed to cookies, which are saved on a user’s hard drive. They help us assess the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns by helping us identify which recipients of our HTML-based emails have clicked through.
Pixels
The code that is installed on your computer to cause a cookie to be set is called a pixel. We occasionally use this technique to send you messages that are more pertinent to you.
Log Files
We use log files to record what occurs on our websites. This could be related to a number of things, including the kind, substance, and timing of any transactions you carry out with your device. We can examine activities on our websites because of these audit trails.
