Other Similar Technologies
Beacons, Pixel Tags, and Clear Gifs are all terms for similar technology that often works in the same way. These small strings of (software) code track events such as when a user visits a page or opens an email. They are used by iWallet to measure the effectiveness of our email campaigns, deliver more relevant content, and manage advertising for iWallet’s services. In many instances, beacons, pixel tags, and clear gifs work in conjunction with cookies to function properly, so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
